  1. Windows 10 UAC problems


    In order to disable Windows 10 UAC I had to make a manual registry adjustment.....simply moving the UAC slider to the bottom still left controls in place even after several re-boots.

    However, I now find that if I wish to use Microsoft Edge, Mail, Solitaire Collection etc I get a message stating that the application "can't open whilst UAC is turned off." So basically I have to turn the controls back on to access them.

    Is this intended and is there a way to stop this and use the programs? If this is intended then it makes the upgrade to W10 pretty pointless!

    :)

  2. problems with windows 10 and google chrome

    since loading windows 10 i have seen a number of frustrating issues when using google chrome which i have never had before. The most frustrating of these (i have a touch screen laptop) is if i drag the cursor over the screen it resizes either larger or
    smaller which is not what i want. Not a techie so whilst i have tried to fix it looking at other issues i have still not been successful - any ideas how i can fix this please?

  3. Windows 10 apps won't open. "This app can't open" error.

    Please walk us through enabling UAC.

    Windows 10 UAC problems

    Hello uncleadolph, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    Windows apps from the Store (aka: modern apps) cannot run in an elevated account or elevated explorer process. When you disable UAC, that elevates the account. It was the same in Windows 8/8.1 as well.

  5. Many thanks. As you will have gathered I didn't have Windows 8, the upgrade was from Windows 7 so I wasn't aware of this.

    The answer is obviously disappointing but not much anyone can do about it.
