How to turn off User Account Control (UAC) in Windows in order to troubleshoot a software issue or to allow a program to run better, especially when it interacts with other software.

Solution:

UAC is a Microsoft security tool that helps prevent intrusion of malicious software. It is not full-fledged anti-malware or an antivirus, but it does notify of changes that are about to be made to the computer. For troubleshooting application problems, temporarily disabling UAC may help pinpoint the problem or relieve the issue. 

Be sure to restore this security setting as soon as the issue is resolved.

To turn off UAC:

1. Type uac into the Windows Start menu.
2. Click “Change User Account Control settings.”
3. Move the slider down to “Never Notify.”
4. Click OK and then restart the computer.
