how to access UAC


Hello,
If I upgrade a Windows 7 Pro desktop to Windows 10 Pro, then I do not have any issues.
However if I do a clean install of Windows 10 Pro, and create the password for the administrative account.
After getting it all setup, I add it to the domain on the network. I can log in with the login info from the Active Directory Server. Now the problem I run into, is say if I want to even change a file name, it asks for the Administrative username and password, at which point I have to enter ComputernameUser for the username then Password when the pop up happens.
Is there a way I can remove that?
It doesn't seem to do that on any Windows 7 pro to Win 10 Pro upgrades though. And I have several more machines to do clean installs.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I would appreciate any help, thank you.

Hey there,

Is the computer in the AD Users and Computers? This could cause problems if that's the case. I had a similar issue, and the issue was that it wasn't in there.

Best of luck.

I don't think the computer name is set in the AD Users and Computers, I will have to check the server tomorrow when I get there.
I know the user name is set in the AD Users.

Definitely check. If it isn't listed there, it will not properly download user profiles.

So I just checked Windows 2008 Server, and the User is listed there, however the computer name is not.
But none of the other computers are listed for Users whom had Windows 7 Pro and upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
Yet the Windows 7 Pro who upgraded had no problems with Windows 10 Pro.
But the 3 computers I did a fresh clean install of Windows 10 Pro on, had issues and always prompting for admin username/password whenever a change is made to file or anything on the local machine when they are logged in with there domain user/pass

I also came across this for UAC, Disable UAC for Windows Servers through Group Policy - TechRepublic
I don't quite understand, do I have to do that on the desktop of the client machine or on the Windows 2008 Server?

Finally got it figured out,.
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode (set to Elevate without prompting)

User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation (set to Disabled)

User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode (set to Disabled)

User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations (set to Disabled)

Rebooted, and got it all working properly.
