20(Solved) Program Asks For UAC Admin Credentials Every Time It Opens In Windows 11/10
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable showing administrator accounts in the UAC prompt for standard users in Windows 11 and Windows 10.
When User Account Control (UAC) is enabled, Windows prompts for consent or prompts for credentials of a valid local administrator account before starting a program or task that requires a full administrator access token. The UAC prompt mitigates malicious software running under elevated credentials without the user or administrator being aware of its activity.
Issues addressed in this tutorial:
program asks for administrator password every time
program asks for permission every time
program always asks for administrator password
program asking for admin password
program keeps prompting for admin credentials
program keeps asking for admin password
Is the UAC dialog asking for the password during elevation even though you’re logged in to an administrator account?
For non-admin accounts, the UAC elevation asks for admin credentials, but for administrator accounts, the UAC dialog should just ask for consent, not password, when launching non-Windows executables in elevated mode.
