Katherine, The only time this would be an issue is if you are logged in as a user and then attempt to run an application as another user. There is no problem if you run an existing application with admin privileges as yourself. So, for 99.9999% of users, this will be fine. For the one user out of a million, this is security issue with UEFI that we cannot work around. There are obviously not the same issues we had in 8.2 as they have been resolved with 8.3.

All I really care about is, my laptop has windows 7 HP on it. All I care about is will 8.3 if I install it screw it up or will it run just fine. Anybody know before I make a mistake I'll be sorry for? ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now!!!!! Move out. Get a job.

Or when you say "UEFI feature > will have to be disabled in BIOS", do you actually mean the secure > boot feature? Secure boot is not UEFI, but part of UEFI. > If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original > sender only.
