I am signed in as an admin in my pc and when you try to change settings that needs admin permission, it doesn't require your password. Is it totally normal or is there something wrong? If possible, is there a setting that allows me to require a password when changing admin settings?
Thanks
What kind of settings are you changing? Do you have UAC set to max (Always Notify)?
did you used to use a mac or linux system? because those system did ask for a password for doing admin stuff.
windows doesnt ask for the passwords for installing anything or modifying files. it only pops up with a warning prompt and click to go on.
might be nice if they put it password requirement. less chance of installing malware and stuff.
By the way, if you apply this, it will ask for password, even if there is none.
reg add "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem" /v "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem" /v "ConsentPromptBehaviorUser" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem" /v "EnableInstallerDetection" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem" /v "EnableLUA" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem" /v "EnableSecureUIAPaths" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

Thank you very much! It worked.By the way, if you apply this, it will ask for password, even if there is none.
