## User Account Control

|
||||
|
||||
User Account Control (UAC) helps prevent malware from damaging a PC and enables organizations to deploy a better-managed desktop. With UAC, apps and tasks always run in the security context of a non-administrator account unless an administrator specifically authorizes administrator-level access to the system. UAC can block the automatic installation of unauthorized apps and prevent inadvertent changes to system settings.
|
||||
Most people run as full admins on their devices, which means apps and services have the same access to the kernel and other critical services as users. And the problem is that these apps and services can access critical resources without the user knowing. This is why Windows is being updated to require just in time administrative access to the kernel and other critical services as needed, not all the time, and certainly not by default. This makes it harder for an app to unexpectedly abuse admin privileges and secretly put malware or malicious code on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Organizations can use a device management solution like Microsoft Intune to remotely configure UAC settings. For those without such a solution, settings can be adjusted directly on the device.
|
||||
When Administrator protection is enabled, if an app needs special permissions like administrative rights, you'll be asked for approval. When an approval is needed, Windows Hello provides a secure and easy way to approve or deny these requests, giving you, and only you, full control over your device.
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling UAC helps prevent malware from altering PC settings and potentially gaining access to networks and sensitive data. UAC can also block the automatic installation of unauthorized
|
||||
apps and prevent inadvertent changes to system settings.
|
||||
This helps reduce elevation of privilege (EOP) attacks on Windows where admin privileges are abused. The feature is currently in preview available on Windows Insider channel.
|
||||
|
||||
Users with standard accounts, or those using administrative accounts with UAC enabled, run most programs with limited access rights. This includes the Windows shell and any apps started from the shell, such as Windows Explorer, a web browser, productivity suite, graphics programs, or games.
|
||||
|
||||
Some apps require more permissions and won't work properly (or at all) when running with limited permissions. When an app needs to run with more than standard user rights, UAC allows users to run apps with a *full* administrator token (with administrative groups and privileges) instead of their default user access token. Users continue to operate in the standard user security context while enabling certain executables to run with elevated privileges if needed.
