Windows 10: Program asks for UAC admin credentials every time it opens.

I have a computer lab where there is a program that when it launches, every time it asks for admin credentials. The weird thing is that the user can just click the x to close and the program launches fine. This is a local account on windows 10. All other programs do not need creds to launch. The program is the Riot Client game launcher. I have a ticket with them but they have not discovered a solution yet, thus I want to check here just in case. We have: full uninstall and install, checked windows firewall, updated windows, booted in clean boot, set permissions to full control for al

UAC setting ask Credentials for for Admin Taks but not for signing Up

I want to set UAC Setting on my Windows 10 PC such that when I log in through Admin User, It should not ask for Password but when I do Some Admin Stuff (Installing aplications, etc), It should give a prompt asking for Credentials.

 

UAC Not Asking For Credentials After Changing Account Types

Hi,

I created an admin account and set my personal account to Standard. After logging out and back in UAC doesn't ask for credentials just "Yes" or "No". I have checked Control Panel, lusrmgr, and in the Security Polices to make sure UAC asks for password. I do not know why it still does not work.

Using Admin Account with UAC Prompting for Credentials?

I just installed Windows 10 and my local user account is a Local Admin Account.

However, under Local Security Policy settings, I set the UAC Prompt to Prompt for Credentials on the Secure Desktop (for Admin accounts). Can I also use this account to browse the web, check email even If the UAC is set to Prompt for Credentials? Or, would it be more secure if I create another local account which would be a Standard User Account?

Can malware still cause damage even if the UAC is set to Prompt for Credentials on the Secure Desktop for the local Admin Account?

I am the only one using the computer.
