    Hello Ridho,

    To enable the User Account Control (UAC) on Windows 10, please follow these steps:

    • Click the Start button, type UAC.
    • Click Change User Account Control settings.
    • Choose between two options to enable UAC:
      • Notify when apps try to make changes to your computer.
      • Always notify when installing or making any changes to your computer.
    • Click OK.
    • Click Yes or enter your password to finalize the change.
    Steps to disable User Account Control (UAC).

    • Click the Start button, type UAC.
    • Click Change User Account Control settings.
    • Click Yes or enter your password.
    • Set the settings to Never notify.
    • Click OK to save the settings.
    Regards.

    UAC (User Account Control)

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to get better clarity, please let us know:



    • When you say “I lost my UAC password”, do you mean you do not remember the password of the administrator account?
    • Are you using a standard account to login to the computer?
    • Are you using a local account or Microsoft account?
    • How many user accounts do you have on your computer?
    • Are you aware of any changes made to the computer prior to the issue?


    Ideally, the UAC prompt comes up when an administrative task is performed using a standard account. Whenever a UAC prompt comes up, you will need to enter the administrator account’s password to provide the permission.




    For more information, see the section The consent and credential prompts
    in the article
    How User Account Control works    .



    Please reply with more information on the issue to help you further.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare
