Modify the UAC method of Windows 7 by modifying the Registry

It is used for work. To change the UAC settings of win7, I searched for it online for half a day and there was no ideal result.

Combined with many examples, we finally found the location of UAC in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ System

Key value settings:

UAC height

ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin = 2

EnableLUA = 1

PromptOnSecureDesktop = 1

UAC

EnableLUA = 1

PromptOnSecureDesktop = 1

Low UAC

PromptOnSecureDesktop = 0

UAC off

ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin = 0

EnableLUA = 0

PromptOnSecureDesktop = 0

What is User Account Control settings?

User Account Control (UAC) will notify you before changing the computer (administrator-level permissions are required. The default UAC setting notifies you when the program tries to change the computer, but you can change the frequency that UAC notifies you.

The following table describes the UAC settings and the potential impact of each setting on computer security.

Note:

If you are using a secondary device such as a screen reader, we recommend that you select "always notification" or "default-only notify me when the program attempts to change my computer" UAC settings. These two settings are most suitable for auxiliary technologies.
