User Account Control (UAC)

Modified on Fri, Mar 19, 2021 at 11:14 PM

UAC should always be disabled / set to "Never notify" so user is not prompted to elevate for various apps.


If it is enabled in a user's account, disable in the registry and reboot:


  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  • In the right pane, modify the value of the EnableLUA DWORD value to 0
