How to Disable UAC in Windows

User Account Control (UAC) in Windows is designed to prevent unauthorized changes to the system. However, some users may want to disable it to avoid frequent notifications. Here’s a detailed guide on how to turn off UAC in Windows.

Step 1: Open the Control Panel

Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box. Type control and press Enter to access the Control Panel.

Step 2: Navigate to UAC Settings

In the Control Panel, select User Accounts and then click on Change User Account Control settings.

Step 3: Adjust UAC Level

In the UAC settings window, move the slider to the lowest position — “Never notify”. This will disable UAC. Click OK to confirm your changes.

Step 4: Confirm the Changes

Windows may prompt you to confirm the changes or require a restart to apply the new settings. Restart your computer if necessary.

Warning!

Disabling UAC may leave your computer more vulnerable to viruses and malware. Use this setting with caution, especially if you frequently install new software or download files from the internet.

Once you complete these steps, UAC will be disabled, and the system will stop displaying related notifications.
