Turn User Account Control on or off


Turn User Account Control on or off. User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. UAC notifies you when changes are going to be made to your computer that require administrator-level permission.

Do one of the following to enable or disable this from the Control Panel: 

1. To turn off UAC, move the slider to the Never notify position, and then click OK. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2. To turn on UAC, move the slider to choose when you want to be notified, and then click OK.

Enable or Disable UAC from the Windows Command Line

To disable UAC

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

To enable UAC

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f


After you enable or disable UAC, you will have to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

Note: Disabling UAC will lead to a less secure system, so be warned.
