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.

    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

    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:

    Hi hlsmlane,

    Welcome to the Windows Vista Forums answers.
     
    Some applications, such as applications to be internal or non-Microsoft products, require the full administrator access token to perform at least some of their functions or tasks, but have not been identified as applications administrator by the developer or Publisher. In this case, you can use the following procedure to mark an application so that the operating system always requires the use of a full administrator access token.
     
    Important: you cannot mark an application to bypass the message user account control.
     
    To perform the following procedure, you must be able to connect with or provide the credentials of a member of the local Administrators group.
     
    To mark an application to always require a full administrator access token
     
    1 right click on an application that is likely to require a full administrator access token, but has not been marked as such.
     
    2 click Properties and then click the Compatibility tab.

    3. under privilege level, select run this program as an administrator check box, and then click OK.
     
    Note: If the run this program as an administrator option is unavailable, it means that the application is blocked from always running with administrator credentials, the application does not require any administrator credentials to run, or you are not connected to the computer as an administrator.

  • 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.

  • Excel and user account control

    I have a shortcut to an Excel spreadsheet saved on my desktop.  I use is ever day.  Everytime I open it I have to click Yes on the popup screen that asks do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer.  How can I keep my UAC control level but allow Excel spent?

  • User account control problems

    MY ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DELETED SOMEHOW. WHEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT IS OPEN AND WE ARE TRYING TO REMOVE A PROGRAM OR START SYSTEM RESTORE THE USER ACCOUNT CONTROL BOX NOW COMES UP TO ASK PERMISSION TO CONTINUE. WE CANNOT ENTER ANY PASSWORD. USER ACCOUNT CONTROL IS TURN OFF MY COMPUTER. HELP PLEASE!

    The first thing to try is go to Safe Mode to see if the disabled built-in Administrator account normally is now available. Enter Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Use your arrow key to select Safe mode, and then press the Enter key. If you see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen, log into this account and make your changes. Follow the recommendations for setting up the accounts of user below.

    If you do not see an icon for the administrator mode without failure, post back for further instructions.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).
