Long shot, but there isn’t a value in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ApPCompatFlags\Layers with a value referencing chrome.exe, is there?

No recent changes or browser integrations. @Jim: No applocker or other similar apps. @Joe: I already have implanted the GPO for Chrome and the issue still occurs after forcing a GP update and a reboot.

Have there been any recent policy changes? Any software updates that feature browser integration? -- Espi On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 2:03 PM, Jimmy Tran <ji...@jt-solution.com<mailto:ji...@jt-solution.com>> wrote: This issue has been happening for a while now. A user will launch Chrome and they will get a UAC prompt immediately. They can hit no to continue but they will eventually get another UAC prompt after opening Chrome. This happens across the board for all standard users. I’ve tried the Chrome browser for business as wells as the standard version but both eventually give us the same problem. This does happen randomly on different computers running windows 7 or 10. I’ve found a bunch of people having this issue on forums but the only solution that was found was to set chrome.exe to run as administrator for all users. The problem is the user account is a standard account so it will prompt for elevated credentials again. I have also tried the Google ADM templates to disable auto updates but it still occurs. Has anyone seen this issue and resolved it? -Jimmy
