• User account control problem?

  With the help of a new laptop from Samsung with Windows 7.  Set up my account as admin was made by the seller.  I created a standard account for my husband.  Whenever he connects, blue-yellow shields start popping up to have to ask permission to make changes by connecting with admin password and answering Yes, what I've done several times, and then they disappear, but then they or others return more late in the session or the next session.  I am not getting in my account other than some recognizable re install Adobe, etc.   Many of them are from Samsung but there has been others and I have not recorded they came. User account for my account controls were set to the option "always inform" but not at the level higher that supposedly stops the operating system until answered.  After reading a lot of problems on this forum about the UAC settings, I'm reluctant to make changes.  I'm strictly a user and not very knowledgeable computer. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  Why don't you just change it to a administrator account in the user control panel.  As a normal user it will always these problems unless you do shine rather changes in the registry.

  Hello

  You can enable UAC who do a lot.

  You can also enable the UAC SILENCER or STOP if it lowers you the level of security.

  To solve the problems:

  Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
  role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed. References to Vista also apply to the
  Windows 7.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

  not better?

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  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.

• Recently programs will not be installed unless do a right-click and do 'run as administrator '. Problem of UAC (User Account Control).

  I suspect something is wrong with my installation of Windows, what can be done to make the programs to install normally, which is more secure (doesn't allow not programs administrative privileges during the installation).

  The "User Account Control" dialog box never appears like this: http://goo.gl/CbsXF

• After that Win7 SP1 firefox Gets a user account control prompt every time I open it.

  After installing the windows 7 service pack 1 update, whenever Firefox is started I am invited guest UAC (User Account Control) to ask my permission because he will try to make changes. My UAC setting is enabled by default and reinstall the latest version of Firefox (3.6.13) does not alleviate the problem.

  Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.
  
  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
  
  In the Compatibility tab, make sure that this level of privilege: "Run this program as an administrator" is not selected.
  
  You should also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

• Why User Account Control allow me on IE without permission after resetting IE

  A few days ago I couldn't get on the Internet because IE would not work and internet connection was ok so out of desperation I did a reset of the EI. It still does not work then a member of the family came and got it works, but now I get the popup to permission to the user account control every time that I log on the desktop by clicking the shortcut of IE.  I went into the folder security and disabled UAC and now I only get this popup whenever I click on the desktop IE. This never used popup lights up when clicking on the shortcut of IE, so something must have happened when I did the reset Internet Explorer.  Does anyone know how to keep control of user account for all but IE?

  I have a feeling that I accidentally changed a setting on IE and probably should not have an IE reset.but now the problem is that I like to keep the popup of User Account Control permission for everyone, but the IE shortcut on my desktop.

  Furthermore, family member right clicking on the desktop for IE shortcut and did something with run as administrator to get IE working again.

  My nephew looked at the problem that I had some time ago, but I told him to forget it because he really didn't have time to work on it. I just kept off UAC all these months and had no problems I do not download anything that I'm not sure. However, a few days ago I went back to this problem. I tried checking with the Compatibility tab, and as said above "Run as Administrator" was unchecked. This time I went to the contextual on properties of Internet Explorer and click on Advanced tab. Then I unchecked the run as Administrator box and I went back and UAC enabled and everything works well. Without UAC popups more!  I also did this for the exchange of information in the start menu and on the Quick Launch bar. For some reason any one on the keyboard had worked this time (he had not earlier) without a popup UAC even before I made the changes.  This is exactly what made me do some exploring more to see if I could get the other IE shortcuts to work.

  I believe that another Member of my family who had helped me to get IE to work when I had problems to make on the internet even after a reset IE active the option "Run as Administrator". He has not been bothered by the popup and said if I was annoyed by it just turn off like he said I had a very good program antivirus (Norton) installed on my computer and it always warns you if a program you want to install is safe or not safe.

  Hope this might help someone else who may have this problem.

• 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.

• 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:

  1. Mark the first line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
  2. Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.
  3. Marks of the second line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
  4. Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.
  5. Open the desktop Accounts.txt file, then copy & paste its contents into your answer.

  cmd.exe /c users > '% userprofile%\Desktop\Accounts.txt '.

  cmd.exe /c net localgroup administrators > '% userprofile%\Desktop\Accounts.txt '.

• 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

• 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.
