How to Change UAC Notification Settings in Windows 7

Computer Published on August 20, 2011 By RMvalues - Leave Comment

What is UAC ? UAC is User Account Control. Have you noticed that we used to speak about UAC in our previously few posts ?

When turned UAC notification on, User Account Control helps prevent potentially harmful programs from making changes to your computer in Windows 7 by notifying and asking you for permission before letting the program run or install.

Now, we are teaching you on how to turn of the User Account Control Notification, so that everytime when you make changes to your computer, you won’t receive the prompt notification.

Steps:

Open the Control Panel.
In Category View, select User Accounts and Family Safety > User Accounts.
Or change to All Items View.
Click on the Change User Account Control settings link.
If prompted by UAC, click on Yes to approve.
Adjust the slider to the level of protection of how much you want to be notified from UAC.
- Always notify me when …
- Default – Notify me only when …
- Notify me only when …
- Never notify me when …
Click on OK when done.
If prompted by UAC, click on Yes to approve.
If you have just turned UAC off, then you will need to click on restart the computer, or manually restart the computer, to apply the changes.
NOTE: Simply turning on UAC or changing the UAC level without turning it off will not require a restart.
