We have all seen it, that annoying pop up, User Account Control or UAC. In a nutshell, UAC is a piece of security software from Microsoft© that prevents access to administrative functions from software application. It helps prevent spyware and malware from installing without your knowledge but it can also be a pain in the hard drive if you install a lot of software, or try to access higher level privileges.
I personally turn it off because it is annoying. to disable UAC follow these steps:
- Type windows key and R and then type msconfig and hit enter.
- Select the "Tools" tab
- Scroll down to "Disable UAC"
- Click "Launch"
- Reboot at your leisure to ensure it is actually disabled.
Microsoft does not recommend disabling UAC. If you are somewhat of an advanced computer user then you can always disable it. If you are not sure what to do then just leave well enough alone.
