  1. Win 10 UAC issue


    Is anyone else suddenly experiencing issues where Win 10 User Account Control suddenly decides to block installation of software such as a printer driver? I am trying to reinstall the driver for my HP LaserJet P1102w printer and every time the software install initializes, I get an angry red popup window from UAC that states for my protection, an Administrator has blocked the software from running. As I AM the admin on the machine, I can guarantee that I did not set this up. Anyone know of a workaround for this?

    :)

  2. 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.
