Windows 10: Windows 10 - UAC Popup only displays "NO" option. Account changed to standard from...

Well, pretty much the title.




So I tried everything, but everything ask for admin permissions so I couldnt do anything, I installed windows 10 on a USB to boot to windows repair to be able to get command prompt and from there I created the cmd.exe to sethc.exe backdoor, so I could create an admin account on login screen. And I also loaded a reg hive and set EnableLUA to 0.

Restarted computer the SHIFT 5 times for sticky keys (sethc.exe) didnt work, but the file is replaced correctly.


Even with lua set to 0 I could not enable adminitrator account, set mine to admin nor create a new account.

UAC Window/PopUp

Just recently after the last Windows 10 update the UAC popup window is not displaying fully. Only the buttons without the words "YES" , "NO" and the outline of the popup window are shown.

Is there still reason to use standard user account in Windows OS?

Hi all!

Suppose I'm the only user of the computer. Suppose I have User Account Control activated. Is there or are there still reasons to create and use standard user account for everyday work? As far as I understand, with User Account Control active I have the permissions of a standard user even if I'm logged on as an administrator. If I use administrator account for everyday work does User Account Control give me EXACTLY the same level of protection from viruses and malware and from making accidental system-wide changes as standard user account with active UAC? I don't imply that UAC protects me from viruses and malware. I use proper antivirus software for that.

In other words, do I get the same level of protection when I use administrator account with UAC enabled and when I use standard account with UAC enabled? Is it true that UAC turns an administrator account into what is know as a protected administrator account, basically, an administrator account that runs with standard user account privileges? Or does standard user account with UAC enabled gives me yet higher level of protection over administrator account with UAC enabled?
