  1. Silentcleanup task - bypass UAC security issue


    Hello! This issue with the task below and the setting to run with highest privileges has been flagged as a security risk. I know individually you can just uncheck the box, however I've been tasked to do this enterprise wide vis GPO. Does anyone know of a way to do this via GPO?

    Bypass UAC with Task Scheduler for Standard User Account

    Hello, I'm trying to accomplish something that I haven't had success with yet.

    I'm trying to automatically launch Skype in a standard user account. When Skype automatically updates itself, however, it prompts UAC, preventing it from launching unless an administrator password is entered. I want to bypass UAC so that Skype will automatically
    launch, even when updating itself, within the standard user account.

    I've tried to get this to work through task scheduler. Under General --> Security options in the task that I create, I use an administrator account to run the task, select "Run whether user is logged in or not," and select "Run with highest privileges."
    When I try to run the task though, Skype doesn't launch (Right now, Skype needs to complete an auto-update. When I try to launch it normally, using the start menu, I receive a UAC prompt. I've left it un-updated so that I can test my method.).

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

    MSI Afterburner 1.40 switches to bypass UAC

    Ok, so there is finally option for this. However, even though this is nice and all, writing down those switches wouldn't hurt anyone. Any idea what those switches might be?
    I can't believe it i'm the only one launching system wide apps through Task Scheduler to avoid popups and still keep UAC enabled under Windows 7...

    Grant a specific application permanent UAC permission

    Hello jaksps,

    In line with your concern, User Account Control doesn't have a "allowed-or-blocked" list and disabling the User Account Control involves security risks. Though, there is a workaround to run a program without UAC prompt using Task Scheduler. I'd recommend
    performing the steps suggested by SpiritX MS MVP in this
    thread
    .

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.
