UAC? is that the window I always have to click 'Yes' on when I run a program? Yeah, could you disable that?


Either you are doing admin-y stuff, or the programs you rely on are broken.

When I write Windows-software, I only signal that the process requires UAC elevation for the things which actually does so. It's possible. In fact it's rather easy.

I almost never encounter software which requires UAC elevation, just like most things in Linux doesn't require me to go full sudo.
