How to remove uac from a program in windows 11?
Dealing with those constant User Account Control (UAC) prompts is annoying, but UAC is a crucial security feature! It prevents unauthorized changes to your system, so I strongly advise against turning it off globally. You cannot safely remove the UAC prompt from a single program directly in Windows 11 settings, but there is a common, slightly advanced workaround using a built-in tool called the Task Scheduler. The Task Scheduler Workaround (Advanced Users Only): 1. Create a New Task: Open Task Scheduler, and click 'Create Task'. 2. General Tab: Name it something clear (e.g., "Launch_MyProgram_NoUAC"). Check the box that says "Run with highest privileges." This is the key step! 3. Actions Tab: Click 'New' and set the action to 'Start a program'. Browse to the .exe file of the program you want to launch. 4. Create a Shortcut: After saving the task, you create a new desktop shortcut that points to a command that executes this task. The command is usually: C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /tn "Launch_MyProgram_NoUAC" (using your task name). When you run this shortcut, the Task Scheduler runs the program with admin privileges without triggering the UAC dialog. Use this sparingly and only for programs you fully trust!
If you're not comfortable with Task Scheduler, you can simply lower the overall UAC level, but remember this affects every program. 1. Press the Windows key, type UAC, and click 'Change User Account Control settings.' 2. The slider has four levels. You can move it down one notch from the top ('Always notify'). * The next level down ('Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my desktop') still alerts you but won't dim the desktop and will be less intrusive. I do not recommend moving it to the bottom two levels, as that severely degrades your system security and is often flagged by antivirus software. It's best to leave it on the highest setting and just tolerate the prompt for those few admin-level programs.
