    Is UAC gone?


    I can no longer find any trace of the User Account Control "slider" in settings or the control panel. Has this been removed or did I somehow permanently disable it? I am on fast ring.

    UAC

    Help! I am locked out of UAC. All I see are those blue and yellow

    shields. I keep getting that damn prompt asking for Administrator name

    and password. I've tried every password I can think of, but nothing

    seems to work. If I wanted to create a password reset disk, that damn

    prompt would appear again, in which case I have no answer to it, nothing

    works. If I wanted to use the Command Prompt, I wouldn't be allowed to,

    as the prompt would appear.

    I have Malwarebytes and it needs to upgrade a new version, but when I

    click on yes, that UAC prompt comes up again asking for Administrator

    name and password, so I have to click NO. If I wanted to remove a

    Program that I didn't want from the program list, the screen would

    darken and the only thing on the screen would be the UAC prompt. If I

    wanted to do a system file check scan, the prompt would again appear.

    Now, I am completely blocked from accessing Malwarebytes, as there is a

    yellow and blue shield attached to the icon on the desk top. So if I

    wanted to do a scan, I would get that prompt again asking for my

    Administrator user name and password which I don't have and don't know

    how to get.

    I have Windows 10 Home, version 1709 for a Desk Top.

    Why is this happening and what do I do?

    This
    screen comes up right after a window titled User Account Control, asking for amin's pin and saying "do you to allow this app to make changes". After the pin is put in this window appears.

    Thanks Brink. I actually had that tutorial up before I posted this. Turns out that I cannot query the Start box with UAC but instead have to pull up control panel and THEN do a search. Marked as solved.
