Windows 10 has User Account Control (UAC for short). Microsoft introduced UAC in Windows Vista (and Windows Server 2008) to protect unwanted elevated commands on your system. Before such commands are executed the computer will ask you for Administrator rights, which protects your operating system and your personal files.
In this article we will show you how to enable the Administrator Prompt in Windows 10 but also how to disable the Administrator Prompt in Windows 10.
Disabling User Account Control may leave your system vulnerable to unwanted installations such as spyware, adware or other malware types and allow any user of your system to change settings if you forget to lock your system. WindowsInstructed does not recommend disabling User Account Control.
