User Account Control is a feature in Microsoft Windows 10, 8, and 7 that warns users with a dialog whenever a program tries to make changes to the system. The dialog will ask “Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?“, then provide details about the program name and publisher along with a selection to choose Yes or No.
For many users, this feature is just an annoyance. You can enable or disable UAC using these steps.
