Windows 10: UAC Problems: Do You Want To Let This App Make Changes To Your Device.

Hi

I had part of my problem solved yesterday concerning the removal of the shield on my existing programs which was a great relief. However, I am still having a problem with some of my new downloaded programs. I have the same message I used to receive with my other programs. The Message is as mentioned in my thread, "Do You Want To Let This App Make Changes To Your Device", and further down it says, "To continue, enter an admin name and password". However even if I could do this, there is only the option, "No", which returns me to my desktop. Ever since a few months ago when Windows 10 updated on my laptop, I have had nothing but trouble. It is as if some unknown person has taken over my computer. I can't get rid of the administrator, make myself one or even get admin privileges. It's driving me to the edge of insanity. Surely there is a cure for this. As I mentioned in a previous post, Microsoft was of no use at all. Brink at least solved a great deal of the mess, so please can anyone help me finally reclaim control of my laptop. *Mad*Mad*Banghead*Mad2

Problem with UAC in win 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

To disable UAC prompts, I suggest you to follow the steps provided below:

• In the search bar, type Control Panel and press Enter.
• Click on User Accounts and again click on User Accounts.
• Click on Change User account control settings.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt.
• Drag the box from Always Notify to Never Notify and click on OK.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt (if asked again).

Important: Turning off UAC reduces the security of your computer and may expose you to increased risk from malicious software. We do not recommend leaving UAC disabled.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Windows 10 Built in apps + UAC

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. We understand your requirement in this regard.

Please share these details.

• 
  On which Microsoft account you are trying to disable these apps?
  
• 
  When you say "we have an application in our company, which requires UAC to be disabled for it to work”. Which application you are referring to?
  
• 
  On how many computers you are facing this issue?
  
• 
  Are the systems connected to a domain network?
  
• 
  Is the issue specific to this application?
  

You can see this error message “is app can't open with built in administrator account”, when you try to open built-in apps in built-in administrator. So you need a Microsoft account in order to make use of those built-in apps.



Moreover, I see you already disabled the UAC as per the application requirement that you use as a part of your company. We don’t recommend disabling UAC on to help make your computer secure. However currently we don’t have any option to run those
app with built-in administrator.



I suggest that you provide your suggestions and feedbacks in the dedicated Feedback App. Follow these steps to provide suggestions in Windows Feedback App.

At any time, select Start, and then type Windows Feedback to send us your opinions and suggestions. Windows Feedback is only available if you have Diagnostic and usage data set to Full (Full is the recommended setting).

To change the Diagnostic and usage data setting, go to Start , then select Settings > Privacy > Feedback & diagnostics, and then, under Diagnostic and usage data, select an option.



Thank you.
