Windows 10: Requiring Password for all program installation?

Hi All,

Was wondering it is possible to require a password for any installation on Windows 10.

If possible, can anyone run-down how?

Hi,

To better assist you, may we know which QuickBooks version do you use on your computer?

Thank you.

Ryan I am using Quickbooks EasyStart 2013.
We recommend you to update to QuickBooks 2016 R7 or an earlier release than R7 which is certified to work on Windows 10. QuickBooks 2014 and earlier is not supported on Windows 10. Please check compatibility of QuickBooks 2013

here.

You may also see Windows 10 compatibility center. For more details click this
link.

Note: Roll back option is only available for a month after you upgrade to Windows 10.

Click on this
link and follow the procedure.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

There may be a way in Group Policy Editor, can 'lock down' many things. With my Macintosh MacBook Pro Notebook that is the default, need the password for installing and updating.

 

You could use UAC for that. If you do not perform other admin tasks daily, it should not be bothersome.

Hi ran through your link but it never prompts for a password to install a program, just prompts a notification. Set it at the highest security level too.

 

Run CMD as admin and copy/paste: Code: reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "ConsentPromptBehaviorUser" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableFullTrustStartupTasks" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableInstallerDetection" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableLUA" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableSecureUIAPaths" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableUwpStartupTasks" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableUIADesktopToggle" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableVirtualization" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "FilterAdministratorToken" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "PromptOnSecureDesktop" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f[/quote]

 

ammonation,

If you wanted a password to be enforced you would normally have to change over to a Standard user account.

• It prompts for a password if the user account you are signed into is a Standard user account.
• If you are logged into an Admin account, it just prompts for confirmation with a Yes / No choice instead.

The Registry changes described above might be able to achieve the non-standard behaviour that you want.
