So.. You just got your new computer loaded to the brim with raw, untamed, muscle and power. When you plug it in and turn it on, the lights glow neon blue hews across your bedroom walls and a jet engine works tirelessly inside to keep all the hardware cool and comfy. You decide that it’s time to install some programs, configure your monster, and personalize the ever living buhjebus out of it. What happens next is quite possibly the most annoying “feature” you’ve ever encountered! That’s right- User Access Control is a feature! Ugh!!

Here’s how you can disable that, before the stress and headaches continue to reinforce the internal hemmoraging that you get from having to sit through that pop up 30 times an hour.

Via Control Panel

1. Start->Settings->Control Panel
2. In the search box type: UAC

Make sure you are in “Control Panel Home” View, and not in “Classic View” (in the left column). Otherwise the Search won’t work.

3. Click on: Turn User Account (UAC) on or off
4. Un-Check: Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer
5. OK
6. Reboot

Via MSConfig / System Configuration

1. Start->Run
2. Type in: msconfig
3. Click on the Tools Tab
4. Scroll down a bit until you see “Disable UAC” and select it
5. Click Launch
6. Hit OK
7. Reboot

There it is! Easy as pie.
