User Account Control in Windows 10- Make it go away.

When installing an application this is normal, this is protecting your security and you need to run this.

If you are running an application such as Sonar and it's asking for administrator access,you can disable run as administrator in the shortcut properties.

If you are enabling run as administrator that's what will happen, you have to live with clicking YES each time you run an app. That's just the way it works. You really should not be running the application as administrator anyway but sometimes you have to. You maybe should research other workarounds such as registry permission hacks if your software is not working correctly. Ultimately you want to stop running jbridge as admin. Try and get a 64 bit plugin to replace what you are using for instance (get rid of 32 bit plugins! :) ).

If you value your security DO NOT turn off UAC. MS have not intended this technology just to nag you. Again DO NOT turn off UAC I cannot stress this enough.

I would also do a routine virus scan and malware scan (with something like Malwarebytes).

Cheers.

My understanding is that you can disable those notifications without actually disabling UAC. I don't have W10 yet, but I'd start with the control panel and look for a checkbox labeled "constantly pester me with warning dialogs" and un-check it.

The whole point of UAC is to warn you that a program needs administrator access. This could be a virus or a piece of malware. If the answer is Yes by default you put your security at risk. Please DO NOT disable this. I cannot stress this enough.

It is called USER access control, not computer access control.

Ta.

Viruses happen on legit websites every so often, they can get hacked. Staying away from dodgy websites isn't going to make your system perfectly safe and secure. People often make mistakes clicking on the wrong link, and occasionally legit apps are distributed with viruses by accident. Your friend might also send you an infected file by accident. If you know the way windows works you would keep it on!

If you want the full detail on why you should never turn it off:

ok if you like
 
use firefox with noscript, adblock plus and privacy badger
 
if my friend sent me an infected file - or i downloaded one - my av would catch it
 
blocking/disallowing/whitelisting javascript is your safest way to play interwebz
 
i'd be interested in knowing which legit apps have distributed virii in the last, say, 5 years?

If the OP takes proper precautions, he can disable UAC without worry...

 
Well I've heard it all now! So it's perfectly fine to expose the administrator account . Wow.
 
I still don't know how you can claim that your PC is virus or malware free without installing a virus scanner/malware scanner.

Who claimed that their PC is virus or malware free without installing a virus scanner/malware scanner?

Not silly at all. Cheers :)

You can disable UAC
 
As in another thread, a little common sense goes a long way.
First, have an up-to-date backup image file.  That's the ultimate fail-safe.

• If you're not sending/receiving Email (your greatest odds of getting infected)
• If you're not opening unknown attachments
• If you're doing limited surfing of trusted corporate sites (Cakewalk, Steinberg, etc for updates/authorization), your odds of getting infected are extremely low.  

Could you possibly be infected by a trusted site?  Yes, but the odds are minute.
You could also walk out the door tomorrow and a tree fall and land on your head.

You are voice of reason Jim:) 

To the OP: If you really must make changes to the UAC just click on the notification Icon. Then All settings. Type UAC in the search box and you will see the option to make changes to the Account Control. Once you are in the UAC settings are the same as with other versions of windows.
 
On my computer its always on the minimum setting. On my Wife and kiddies I do not change it. I also restrict them to using a non administrative user account.
 
You are at your own risk if you make changes though.
