  • Need to change user account control settings, but cannot access (windows 7Prof.-64 bits)

    Hello

    With Windows 7 Professional 64 bit laptop

    I am the 'Standard user' and the only user of my laptop.  I don't know if I have an administrator account.  I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago).  But I remember he was causing Windows always show both accounts and choose one to log-in to.  I didn't want no choice since I am the only user of the laptop, so I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.

    There are so many programs that I can not open because the user account control box "do allow you the following program to make changes...?   The choice of 'Yes' is NEVER highlighted or available - that the choice of the 'no' can be clicked.  And the same dialogue box asks also but it is not a place to type the password "Administrator".  I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.

    And I am referring to all kinds of programs that can not open, as "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" that I downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.  Or I went into control panel 'User account', but try clicking on 'Change settings User Account Control' brings the same view, "do allow you the following program to make changes to the computer?  Or when, on the page of computer system, I can't access 'Advanced System Settings' due to the same dialog box.

    How to solve this problem?  I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens.  I looked through other similar topics here (only Windows 7 partners), and some seek to make changes to the registry.  It's very intimidating for me.  I'm not a computer scientist at all, but fairly intuitive with the computer.  The problem cornered me.  Another opinion on a thread is said to use "Fix It".  This program is no longer available (we now 2016).  I also experienced this problem all this time but am pretty frustrated and wanted to try the job.

    Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?

    I hope someone can provide some less intimidating process that touch the registry to fix this.  I really appreciate it.

    Thank you!

    I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago).

    -> Yes, you did.

    I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.

    -> It was a bad decision. It was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. There is a much better method to avoid the choice between multiple accounts.

    I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.

    -> You had an admin password when your first install Windows.

    I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens.

    -> It takes 30 seconds to remove this choice, without loss of the admin account.

    Some seek to make changes to the registry.

    -> Hacking the registry does not restore your account admin. 'Fix It' will not fix it either.

    Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?

    -> Your first step must be to determine what accounts you have and whether they are active. It is done as follows:

    Well, I was not able to understand why the window UAC doesn't appear, however, I managed to disable UAC via the local policy settings.  For reference purposes:

    1. Start > run > gpedit.msc
    2. Computer configuration > Windows settings > security settings > local policies > Security Options
    3. Then define:
    4. User account control: behavior of the guest of elevation for administrators in Admin Approval Mode – set its value toElevate without asking for confirmation.
    5. User account control: detect application installations and prompt for elevation - set its value todisabled.
    6. User account control: only elevate the UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations - set its value todisabled.
    7. User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode - set its value todisabled.

  • Windows 10 continues to change user account controls

    Why windows done 10. change user account controls, it's extremely annoying. Whenever I reboot it disables it, which blocks all applications. Why he won't stay where I leave it?

    While I can only say that malware has installed a utility that removes the UAC setting when Windows loading [in the hope that you don't notice the change, and that malicious software can therefore go further by installing other malware without bringing a challenge Admin dialog box].  This problem was reported some time ago and finally diagnosed as a symptom of malware - see Windows 7 UAC (user access control) is disabled on every reboot

    In addition to a full scan with your antivirus installed utility, download and run a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free [MBAM].  It is much more difficult for malware to hide its presence of two scanners different antimalware.  MBAM can exist alongside other anti-malware utilities, so it won't be a problem.

    Of course, it could be an anomaly in the system instead, but it's not that I've seen reported in this forum before.  Windows has no integrated procedure that changes the setting of the UAC, so it is difficult to envisage any procedure through to cause this symptom.

    Please specify the operating system you are using and use blue change control under your question of re - categorize it as a matter of Windows if necessary 10.

    Good luck

  • Whats stopping me to see my user account control settings?

    HiWhen tries to use my scanner hp deskjet 2050 J510, I get a popup of user account control saying: do allow you the following program to make changes to this computer? Program name: scanning HP, verified Publisher: origin of the Hewlett Packard file: hard drive on this computer. Details, program location: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \HP\HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series\bin\HPScan.exe.» When I click Yes, nothing happens. When I try to view my UAC settings I can't view them. When I click on it in user accounts, the window opens but it is empty. Then after a few seconds it disappears. After that a few failed attempts at viewing I get a pop up that says that com Surrogate has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. No solution is ever found. Help, please.

    This behavior is usually indicative of a virus or Trojan that blocks access to your security settings.  If you do not have an antivirus program, or if it has expired, I recommend that you use the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (unique tool that is not 'install') and Microsoft Security Essentials (a current anti-virus program that is free and always will be).

    Hi Jniles,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Do you have connected to your computer as an administrator?

    User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. The default UAC notifies you when programs try to make changes to your computer, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.

    Open user account control settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click change user account control settings.

  • User account control interrupts applications full screen

    Programs to auto-update the user account control has a tendency to arise and minimizing applications full screen such as movies or video games. If I do something that causes UAC to pop up, it's good, but I won't be interrupted by it because some program decides to download an update. Is it possible to make may have to wait in the background for me to finish what I'm doing and deal with him and prevent him from minimize applications full screen?

    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.

    Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

  • User account control comes not when you click on

    I have Windows 8 on my computer.

    I have parental controls on my computer. This means that I am not an admin, so when I turn on all the programs that require the approval of the UAC, it didn't work. I have disabled UAC thought, it would be useful, but now I can't run anything (pictures, videos) at all. When I try to click on the button of the UAC in the Control Panel, it does nothing. What should I do?

    Hi HavocNades,

    This problem may occur because of the limited user account authorization. I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

  • Error message "unable to make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator"when you set parental controls for a user account

    Original title: user account with an effort of parental control

    After logging in to my admin account, I created two user accounts for my children, set up parental controls for both that I created, when I tried to set up the third account that he would allow me to activate parental control. It seems that he is trying to load the screen to give me the parental control options then the window disappers and another small window appears saying "cannot make changes to parental controls settings. If the problem persists, see your system administrator. I close the window, and then open the parental controls for other accounts, and they work very well, allows me the chance to change. I deleted the third account several times, making sure to create on behalf of others, just like I did the first two. Still no luck. Can I have only 3 total accounts? My administrator account and standard users 2.

    How can I get a standard user account third with parental controls?
