The Most ANNOYING Windows Feature

What's the point of User Account Control?

[Ryan]

Would you like to run this program?
Developer: Microsoft

You made the program! It better be safe!

[tylerguy]

"Hold on, let me restart my pc real quick..."
*Installing Update: 1 of 6000*

[potat]

You need administrator permission to access


I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR

[lloyd]

Meanwhile, Windows be like:

*Did you mean to switch apps?*
*Settings is trying to open Settings.*

[Barnacules]

Another really cool feature of UAC is that it opens the dialog on a secure desktop that isn't a part of the logged in user station meaning that if a program attempts to simulate mouse or keyboard IO with Windows Messages or even absolute positioning of the mouse cursor it won't be able to activate the button to authorize itself. If you turn the UAC settings down a notch 1 up from the bottom then the UAC dialog will spawn on the logged in users Windows Station and you could technically script the acceptance of the dialog which is why you really don't want to screw with the settings.

[anzival]

my first pc had vista, i member those widgets, actually thought at that time, they were pretty cool :D

[notsu]

Me: turns on pc
PC: boots up
Also PC: *_WINDOWS NEEDS YOUR PERMISSION TO CONTINUE_*

[LeBeautiful]

nah the most annoying feature is
*Windows update scheduled to update, **_would you like to do it right now?_*

[justin]

Windows 10: Would you like to update now?
User: No later
Windows 10: Okay Updating now!

Getting a prompt in Windows it's like getting an ad skip button, but instead of waiting 5 or more seconds to finish you can say *YES* to execute the dark magic that behind these programs.
BUT the most annoying thing that doesn't require your approval are those cheeky windows updates that it will blast you when you will least need to happen on a hurry.

[Akotski-ysrr]

The only time I’ve pressed no, is when I accidentally ran the wrong program

[agarceran]

The problem with UAC constant propmts is that it trains the user to allways click OK by reflex.

[TheRangeControl]

UAC is not bad.

What is bad is how USELESSLY non-descript that they are!!!

[alexray]

"Don't cut away from"
I don't know what you said next, I was too busy cutting away from

[adrianchristopherx]

Rainmeter: I'll hold your tears

[dan_loup]

The fun start when the prompt open up, but you actually didn't clicked on any executable.
