Windows 10: How to remove the User Account Control from user's machine

Hi,

I have just set up a new user here in the office and configured her laptop with all the software access she requires. I've also set her up on the local domain and she has an account. I have made sure she has Administrator rights.


Anyway as I worked through her laptop and wanted to download some further software and updates on the Dell website for drivers, a User Account Control pop up box has appeared. I have to each time enter in my admin credentials which is annoying. As the new user will be working remotely I do not want this to appear as I won't be around to enter in my admin credentials and just want to have this remove. I know this can be edited in the "Change User Account Control Settings" but in order to do this I have to enter in my admin details.


I have checked on her profile and it says she is an Administrator and checked under local users group and again she is a member of administrators. This is driving me mad and it says an Administrator is needed to amend the scroll bar to "Never Notify". I cannot do this as I need to log on as an administrator.


Any help?
