Windows 10: UAC Elevation Question

Plez Stop 5G · Apr 13, 2021

Is it possible to place a specific executable outside the UAC prompt, as a trusted program?

I installed a PC game but when I try to launch it, it launches a UAC prompt.

UAC not allowing software activation

Hello Lourenco,

Thank you for keeping us posted on the status of the issue.

We appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue. I would like to assist you further from here.

As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to check if the User Account you are logged in is the Administrator account or not. Follow the below steps.

Press the Windows key and R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box.

Enter netplwiz to open the
Advanced User Accounts Control Panel which lists all the users accounts created on a computer.

However, if you are the administrator, I would suggest you to disable the User Account Control. Follow the below steps and check with the results.

Type in UAC in the Search Bar and select Change User Account Control Settings.

Under User Account Control settings, drag the slider down to Don't notify me when I make changes to the Windows settings.

Reboot your computer before the changes take effect.

UAC Turn Off Disclaimer:

User Account Control (UAC) can help you prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. It works by prompting you for permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings that affect other users. We
don't recommend turning User Account Control off. If you do turn it off, you should turn it back on as soon as possible.

Additionally, I would also suggest you to enable the
built in administrator account and check if it helps you through the process of the
Power DVD product activation.

You need to run the command from an elevated command prompt. To do that you need to do the following:

Press the Windows key t+ R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box

Enter cmd and right-click on the Command Prompt result that should appear.

This opens a list of options at the bottom. Select Run as administrator there.

Accept the UAC prompt

Enter the following command to enable the hidden administrator account:
net user administrator /active:yes

Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further information feel free to write to us and we woud be happy to help you.

Thank You.

Once again the so called support engineer did not even read the entire thread before posting yet another solution that did not do any good.

However, I was able to solve my situation without your help after all. My original question was how do I turn off UAC. the method suggested in this thread only turns the notifications for UAC off not the UAC itself. In order to turn off UAC completely,
I went into the registry and turned it off there. After doing this, everything installed perfectly.

Here is a link to read about turning off UAC:

DISCLAMER: Making edits to the registry is EXTREMELY dangerous and could cause damage to your computer. Consult a trained professional with any questions.

Automatically deny UAC elevation for a specific program

I know there are many discussions and workarounds about how to grant elevation for a program.

But I need the opposite - I want keep one of my program in user mode.

Is it possible to automatically deny the UAC request for a program, and leave the UAC on for the whole system?
