If you want to avoid being prompted all the time, you can set UAC to automatically deny elevation requests.

In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 simple ways to change UAC behavior for standard users in Windows 10.

Method 1: Change UAC Behavior for Standard Users Using Group Policy

  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run box, type secpol.msc and hit Enter.

  2. In the Local Security Policy window, navigate to Local Policies -> Security Options. On the right, double-click the policy called “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users“.

  3. Click the drop-down box to select the UAC behavior you want to set for standard user accounts, and then click OK.

Method 2: Change UAC Behavior for Standard Users Using Registry Editor

  1. Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    Next, double-click on the DWORD ConsentPromptBehaviorUser to modify it.

  2. Set its value data to one the following values:
    • 0 – Automatically deny elevation requests
    • 1 – Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop
    • 3 – Prompt for credentials (Default)

  3. Reboot your machine to apply the changes.
