  2. 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.

    Using Admin Account with UAC Prompting for Credentials?

    Not possible.
    And not relevant - the security concerns are about the ability of malware to bypass the Admin prompt.

    That is the recommended course of action.
    I use my Admin account routinely and I keep UAC at its max setting. I am taking a risk because new malware might be developed that can bypass the Admin prompt even with UAC at max,

    UAC Elevation prompts?

    Which is more secure regards to the UAC Elevation prompt?

    And which one should I select for the Admin account?

    Prompt for Credentials on the Secure Desktop or Prompt for Credentials?
