\*If you have enabled the built-in Administrator account and have configured Admin Approval Mode, you must also configure the option **Prompt for consent on the secure desktop**. You can also configure this option from User Account Control, by typing **UAC** in the search box. From the User Account Control Settings dialog box, set the slider control to **Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (default)**.
To activate the setting, you must first log in and out. Alternatively, you may perform **gpupdate /force** from an elevated command prompt.

- It is recommended not to enable the built-in Administrator account on the client computer, but to use the standard user account and User Account Control (UAC) instead. If you want to enable the built-in Administrator account to carry out administrative tasks, for security reasons you should also enable Admin Approval Mode. For further information, see [UAC-Admin-Approval-Mode-for-the-Built-in-Administrator-account](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/device-security/security-policy-settings/user-account-control-admin-approval-mode-for-the-built-in-administrator-account)
