Windows 10: Stop User Access Control pop up for known apps

The constant pop up for my known apps is EXTREMELY ANNOYING and it seems my only option is to turn this otherwise useful security feature off. I have a VPN and backup software that run often and every time i get the pop up and sound. How can I stop it for those apps and keep running to be safe.

User Access Control Issue

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

Method 1: Verify UAC settings.

1. Press Windows key and type "UAC". Under the search options, click on
Change User Account Control Settings.

2. Make sure you didn't keep the slider towards Never Notify.

Method 2: Run a System file checker.

If the User Account Control settings are correct but the issue persists, then run a system file checker scan and see if it helps.

Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and click onCommand Prompt (Admin).
  Kindly provide the administrative password, if prompt appears.
• Type sfc /scannow and hit Enter.
• Exit Command Prompt.

For more information about SFC Scan click on the link below:

(Steps for Windows 8.1 are also applicable in Windows 10)

Note: Run the System file checker thrice if systems errors were not corrected in first attempt for SFC.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

Regards,

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
