Discus and support How to turn off User Account Control in AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security to solve the problem; I am not using the side menu. I don't see any use for it.

    How to turn off User Account Control


    I see, Win 10 uses the APPs from the MS APP store and you can put tiles (resized) there, I installed more than a few APPs already and like them. To me this is an improvement. I think you should look at it again and see. You should also be able to make a link and put in the menu of the start button on the stock Win 10.

    I do not agree its only for phone and tablets, they work on laptops too. And I have it on a non touch laptop

    What search bar did you use ? One from a web page ?

    You need to use the search bar on the start menu, all you have to do is type in the letters co and the Control Panel shows up on the list.

    Or put the Control Panel icon on the desktop as I suggested in my 1st post.

    Just install Classic Shell and you`ll be a happy camper *Wink

    I was searching for "user account control" not "control panel". Also, your Start Button looks nothing like mine. Totally different interface.
    The results for a search for "user account control" results in a web search from the Start Button search panel.

    The results are now showing UAC, but the search learns as you search, and I have done this search several times now.

    This is my start button....

    Notice that the search bar says "Search Everywhere", not Search. I would rather it only searched the computer. If I want to see results on the web, I will open Chrome.

    How to turn off User Account Control

    Did you not look at my 2nd picture ?

    Go to the Control Panel then you choose User Accounts.

    Why are you making this so difficult ?

    Right there in your picture I can see User Account Control, just click on it.

    And our start buttons are exactly the same, not sure what you`re talking about

    This is what I do....

    Here is the solution:


    1. Open "Run" (Windows + R or in the Metro UI menu), type "regedit" and hit enter.
    2. Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Policies\System".
    3. On the right side find "EnableLUA" and change it to from 1 to 0.
    4. Reboot your system and UAC is completely disabled.

    right click on the windows icon lower left ,click the search that's in there, choice 4 from the bottom , its the one that use to open from the charms bar or when you typed on the start screen in win8 ,when it opens you see everywhere ,click on the arrow next to that and choose where you want it to search ,you get 5 options ,enjoy

    Start search by typing "use.....", click the user account control settings(blue flag) and use the slider to "never notify".
