    UAC will not elevate


    This issue is happening on all Windows 10 systems 1909 and 20H2. I have tried DISM repairs, new profiles, a fresh image, a fresh image with no group policy. It will work for about an hour after each reboot, but then it starts to fail again.Users operate under standard domain user accounts.When I try to elevate a program using UAC it fails.The UAC prompt box will appear, take my username and password, and then the screen stays as a muted darkened version of my blank wallpaper.The PC will sit like this for a 2 minutes and then go back to the desktop without the elevated permission ever happening

    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?

    UAC will not elevate

    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?
