  2. UAC Prompt

    I am having difficulty accessing a website or PowerPoint document due to an issue with the UAC prompt. When the prompt comes up, I manually enter the username and password.

    *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

    The UAC prompt goes away for a split second and comes back almost instantaneously. Indicating either the username or password is incorrect. However, the username changes from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to \*** Email address is removed for privacy ***. I am not sure why it is adding a "\". I am pretty
    sure this is the issue. I deleted everything from the Credential Manager and cleared the cache/ history/ stored passwords/ etc. Restarted the web browser too. It is not an issue of wrong credentials either. The username and password have been the same for
    a long period of time. The user is not lockedout of their account either.

  3. 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.
