Windows 10: User Account Control asks permission to run some programs, why?

I have UAC set one level below default, most programs will run without asking permission, however, Auslogics Defrag and Malwarebytes amongst some others, always need permission to run. How do I give these programs permanent permission to run?

:)

 

How do I sign into Windows 10 as administrator?

Simple. Log into the account set up when you bought your computer OR check the control panel Users List.

Control Panel >> User Accounts >> Add or Remove User Accounts

A list of user accounts should appear along with their assigned rank.

If it is a problem with permissions on the default user account then try these steps on the program you wish to gain permissions on:

Right Click Icon >> Run as Administrator

You can test that on CMD, which runs admin commands if you run it as Administrator.

Thanks,

 

Error Code 0x8024a105 Windows 10 automatic update

In my case the problem was User Account Control - I had it on the maximum security setting. Moving it down temporarily to the next level allowed the automatic update to work.

IMO this is a flaw in the Windows programming: if the update isn't working because it doesn't have my permission, then it should be asking for that permission instead of generating an error message

 

Programs that get deeper into the system are riskier to it so additional permissions are required, in some cases setting them to always run "As administrator" may help.

 

I've also got my UAC set to one level below default, I would be interested to see which level most people put theirs.

 

I would like to give Malwarebytes permission to run every 3 days. How can ADMIN rights do that ? tks
