Hi Everybody, I've been living with this minor irritant for a long time. I wonder if I can find a setting that will allow me to simply go around this weird-issue and never make me look at it again. Whenever I start a program (that was not produced by Microsoft) I will get an alert asking if...

Hi Guys... Since the last update I can't open the Command Prompt from the Start Menu. When I click on it nothing happens. If I open the Run window, and type "Command" I get the option to click on it and it opens. But I want to run SFC /scannow and I need to be logged in as Admin. I can't...

I am the only person using my PC in my study. My wife & kid (and cats) never use it. They have their own tools/toys. Instead of continually being prompted for admin permission to perform tasks or run various programs, is it possible to get Windows 10 to boot up already in Admin mode?

Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 I tried to restore to a previously 'created restore point' but it failed (System restore error 0x80070091). Because I had an Audio Driver issue... Meantime I fixed my audio card driver problem (reinstall)... But immediately two irrelevant things are screwed up now...

I have the Opera browser setup. When I double click on the executable file, the UAC window pops up, asking me whether to allow changes by this app to my computer. Even if I click on 'No', the setup proceeds anyway and completes. Why is this happening? Is this a problem? If yes, then what can I...

To keep the story short (and avoid embarrassment to myself)... I have a file (.exe) to which everyone supposedly has full permissions, except that with explorer I cannot delete it, copy it, or move it. I can take ownership of it, but the same situation still exists. I **know** (because there...
