    Geez Microsoft is so terrible about this. It doesn’t help that certain apps are coded like shit as well. Ubisoft Connect literally asks 3 TIMESEVERY TIME YOU OPEN IT for UAC permissions. Once a week would be absolutely a joy in comparison.

      That’s not a Microsoft problem… Ubisoft Connect should not need admin permissions to do anything tbh

        Microsoft didn’t provide a way for fine grained control of things. Oftentimes apps need UAC permission for ridiculous stuff that should be available to provide access to once and never again. I’ve written shitty windows apps before and I remember thinking it was dumb then. It’s just even worse now.

      Nvidia GeForce Experience asks once you install driver updates but not right away lol. It’s gotta think about whether it needs it first I guess. Really ponder whether it should ask. So you gotta wait for it to ask before you walk away to do something else.

      If you hold down the escape button, it will deny all the UAC requests as they come in. It’s pretty satisfying to watch, actually
