    UAC & standard users with additional privileges

    I am marking this problem as solved. The problem was:

    Allow a standard user to enable/disable a network without having to enter a password every time.

    My solution for Windows 7 was:

    1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
    2. Login as the standard user.
    3. Create a shortcut to the network adapter.
    4. Right-click on the shortcut to see or change the state of the network adapter.

    I have received many useful and instructive suggestions on Tenforums. Based on those suggestions,
    here's my solution for Windows 10:

    1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
    2. Login as the standard user.
    3. In a cmd window, run this command
    netsh interface show interface
    to learn the name of the network adapter.
    4. Run Task Scheduler using the password of the standard user.
    5. Create two shortcuts in accordance with Option 2 in this tutorial:
    Elevated Shortcut without UAC - TenForumsTutorials
    -- at Step 3, name the shortcuts something like “EnableLAN” and “DisableLAN”
    -- at Step 7, in the Program/script field, type netsh
    -- at Step 8, into the Add arguments field, type
    interface set interface "name of network adapter" admin=enable
    (Make the last element “disable” for the second task.)
    -- at Step 14, name the shortcuts something like “Turn LAN On” and “Turn LAN Off”
    6. Press the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type ncpa.cpl into Run, and click OK to open the Network Connections window. Keep this window open on your desktop to see the state of the network adapter. The color of the icon reflects the state of the adapter.
    7. Click on one or the other of the two newly-created shortcuts to change the state of the network adapter. A cmd window briefly flashes on the screen. This can be eliminated using the procedure mentioned by Try3 in a previous post, if desired.

    The solution for Windows 10 is much more cumbersome than the solution for Windows 7. I have to stop using Windows 7 due to the end of Microsoft support, and this is not the first time that I find Windows 10 to be less user friendly than Windows 7.

    Thanks, again, to all who have kindly given me help and advice

    You can add me to the list of Win 7 users. I've been using Windows 7 Pro for about a month now and I love it.

    Stuck as standard user

    Hi,

    Since your account is recognized as a standard user account, you can follow the steps below to change a user account type on Settings:

    • Press Windows key + I on your keyboard to open the Settings app.
    • Click on Accounts and select Family & other people.
    • Under people, select the user account, and click Change account type.
    • Select Administrator from the drop down menu, then click
      OK
      .

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Regards.
