Re: Windows 10, hopefully a decision I won't regret
@roel
Nope, editing system files will still be problematic with UAC turned off. This should barely ever be required and when it is, you would run some kind of editor in admin mode and do it from there. which, funnily enough, would trigger UAC once
mainly @chris, but also @others
Honestly, programs really shouldn't even ever need to write to program files. Program files is for ...ya know ...program files If a program needs to persist data, it should do it in the user's apData folder. Which is ...ironically ...where an app can store it's data
This co
nvention has been there for at least 13 years and if you run apps that don't adhere to it , the devs of these apps should really get their act together
UAC can be disabled, like Pitermach says, by nulling the notification level in settings. A reason why you might NOT want to do this, ever, is because malware will often trigger UAC as well before it gets really nasty. Especially with the sorry state of antivirus accessibility, you just might want to keep the protection it grants and live with the very occasional alt+y keypress which should only really happen if you install something, run something as admin or perform an operation that modifies something important. Would you rather allow for regedit to be run when you do that yourself once a year, or would you rather allow some script that came with a perfectly harmless software download to change your start page to www.ChinesehackersRule.com and send your mom all of your private skype chats while it's at it?
If you were to kill UAC completely using a registry hack, yup you would pretty much nuke all the modern apps out there. And before peeps say that would be a g doo thing, that includes the Settings app which is kinda important
You are stating Apple got it right when it comes to not needing scripts, could you expand on that?
@gryffindor
Copying a file should not trigger UAC, nor should launching a program if it's not running as admin. Sounds like you have a bit of a config issue there my friend
Your privacy concerns are valid but a lot of the stuff you can actually selectively turn off in the Settings app. As long as you keep that in mind you should be fine
Also, 5 points to gryffindor for upgrading for the heck of it Not sure what's causing your sluggishness, could be the fact you upgraded or something else entirely like the Apple bootcamp drivers. Did you get the anniversary update yet? Or even better, you might want to hop into the insiders program and join the slow ring if you feel adventurous
