How to disable User Account Control (UAC)

User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows that can help you stay in control of your computer by informing you when a program makes a change that requires administrator-level permission. UAC works by adjusting the permission level of your user account. If you’re doing tasks that can be done as a standard user, such as reading e‑mail, listening to music, or creating documents, you have the permissions of a standard user—even if you’re logged on as an administrator.

To disable the UAC, open the User Account Control settings window by clicking your picture profile or type 'user account' on the search box. Select to change User Account Control settings to open the settings window.


Select 'Never Notify' to disable the UAC. But this is not recommended, because your computer will be more vulnerable from virus or trojan. Choose this only if you need to use programs that are not certified for Windows 7 because they do not support User Account Control.

Restart your computer to take effect after the changes to the UAC.
