User account control does not turn on

Hello

I can't get user account control to turn on.  When I go on Windows Security Center, I click on User Account Control, turn it on now.  I get a window saying, "Security Center cannot enable control of user account on this computer.  I have administrative rights on this computer.

Thank you

  • 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.

    You must connect to an Admin account and make changes accordingly. User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your PC that require administrator-level permissions. By default, UAC is set to warn you as soon as apps try to make changes to your PC.

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

    Take a look at this tutorial

    There are 3 ways to activate UAC in this tutorial.

    If still no help, please do a check of the file system. It will look for corrupted files and it will try to repair if it is found.

    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.

  • The Windows 7 user account control settings does not open

    Hello

    Someone knows a problem where a computer launches the application "change user account control settings?  We are dev work on multiple PCs and need to disable this feature.  Normally, I would run the UAC and just drag the bar down, but I can't even the application to load.  I even tried running: C:\Windows\System32\userAccountControlSetings.exe and it does nothing.

    Thank you
    Sean

    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.

    Hi JosephDoherty,

    UAC (User Account Control) notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions.

    You can try to change UAC settings and see if it helps.

    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

    Important: Turn on UAC after you complete the steps.

    For more information, you can consult the following articles:

    How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider?

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Account name My Vista "a name of the user [name] account log does not exist on Windows Home Server" is not, despite the change.

    My Windows Home Server (WHS) prefer the same name of user account on all computers that I use - for the connection and easier access to the files. So to my Vista computer, I changed my account [ancien_nom] name [name]. Vista indicates the name of the new account everywhere but the server after a while (!) stopped recognizing my account and complains about "a name of the user [name] account log does not exist on Windows Home Server" suggesting I should change the name of the account on the ESM. Since I have other computers where I can't change the name of the account (work computer), for this purpose I changed the name of the account on my Vista computer.

    The reason why the WHS could work properly at the beginning maybe I can connect to the WHS folders in a separate process by using the new account name. Choose to save the password - which might have worked for a while, but no more. I also tried to connect as a network device, but I do not correctly reconnect with the identification information data (and saved).

    1 is the name of initial account stored anywhere even if I changed and the reason why it can pop as in this case?

    2. any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    3. or is the problem only on the side WHS - then I might have to turn to a WHS forum
