Recently a bunch of programs in windows 7 keep have been asking for administrator permissions. I have an administrator account, and have the programs set to run as administrator. My user account control is set to only notify when a program makes changes, but it has always been this way. Why did it start doing this?
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a Windows 7 issue where multiple programs unexpectedly request administrator permissions despite the user’s settings. The original poster seeks explanations and solutions, with suggestions to uncheck "Run as Administrator," which they try unsuccessfully. A later comment advises caution with Windows warnings, emphasizing security and suggesting that these prompts, though annoying, are manageable, hinting at possible system glitches or changes in behavior.

Solution
As usual, I would recommend not to mess with Windows warnings, unless you do know what you're doing. It's more secure to live with them, make a click or two... it may be annoying, but it's not really such a big deal, is it, truly?
When I get something like that, it kicks my pride because I OWN the blasted computer! Windows 7 seems to have got some new weird qualities, there's something like glitches have appeared. Not sure, right now.
