Can not turn on user account control

I need to install a program, so I logged on to the administrator account and disabled UAC via Control Panel.  I restarted as shown and installed the program without problem.  Now, I tried to return to the control panel to turn UAC back on and when I click on 'Enable user account control or disable' nothing happens.  When I click on "Change your account name" or 'Change your account Type', nothing happens here as well.    I also noticed a multicolor shield is located in front of each of these choices, but is not in the face of change your photo or change your Passwod, as well to which I can click on and reach the submenu.  I should also not that to the right of these selections, it shows me as an administrator.

    Hi Bob,

    This behavior of user account control is by design, and you can change it by adjusting the parameters of the UAC.

    User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

    By default, UAC is set to warn you as soon as apps try to make changes to your PC, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.

  • Get fast user account control

    Original title: a shortcut, I have long used now I request "do allow you the following program to make changes to this computer?" when I click it. How is this happen and how do I do stop asking me?

    Here's the situation:

    (1) I have a shortcut icon for "go to my pc" on my desktop. I could always click here and download my login screen (I use Gotomypc daily for work).

    (2) recently my updates Windows upgraded my IE 9 to 10 IE without asking to tell me. I didn't like it and it wasn't compatible with my printer, so I came here, discovered how to get rid of the upgrade and re - download the previous version.

    (3) I wanted to avoid leaving Windows pass me again, so I fiddled around so that Windows has asked me before it updated again.

    I don't really know what I was doing, I was just trying my best. I'm not really all that tech savvy.

    (4) now, whenever I click on my thumb for the icon of my pc, a message appears asking "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? It says 'User Account Control' on the top bar, it pings and I have to click Yes to continue. This annoys me and I can't understand what it takes to make it go back to the way it was. I also note that the icon has a small checkered blue top and yellow badge which did not previously exist.

    (5) I tried to remove the shortcut icon, and download it again, but it just comes back the same way.

    Please help - tell me what I need to do to remove the icon for this control of user account control. I am the 'administrator', why can't tell it what to do?

    PS - I didn't know really what "about Windows" to choose! This is probably in the wrong place...

    Please, don't say "user account" when you hear the user account control. They are 2 different things.
    Tell the UAC if you wish.

    Files in the folder (C:\Users) user account are left after the removal of the user of a computer account.

    Presence of a user account in the C drive does not necessarily a real account by this name need to exist.
