I googled for this and didn’t find any info, also googled in the forum and same result. Just installed Win 8.1 Pro x86 with Update 1 and I disabled UAC, when I try to run calculator there is a message "Calculator do not run if UAC is disabled" and it offers to enable UAC, This do no happen in Win 8.0. I do not like to use UAC but obviously I need to use calculator, Is there a work around for this? Thanks in advance.
Not myself but when googled the only topic I foud was abut Winkey + r do not work when UAC is disabled in Win 8.1U1, there are other people confirming it but no one give a solution, so I didn't try.
There many other Metro-Apps which will not working if the UAC is turned off! I didn't use any of the Metro-Apps!
No Metro app will work with UAC turned off, it's by design. Of course, a better design would be a mixed UAC (well, actually LUA being disabled) mode, where you run the desktop with LUA disabled but metro apps run with UAC. Of course, Microsoft doesn't want to encourage people to disable LUA, so they haven't done this. To completely turn off UAC you need to set the EnableLUA registry key to 0. The Winkey + R does work with LUA/UAC disabled, if it's not then there's something screwy going on!
Some Metro-Apps still working, even UAC is turned off! I've UAC turned off and I could still start some Metro-Apps, even the Store!
no UAC no metro, this is the trick to disable uac: command prompt (admin) and: Code: reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /f /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 to re-enable: Code: reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /f /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1
I disabled it using: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000 Well I'll have to install some start menu application to run what is blocked (haven't find any other, but just in case) Which one do you recommend?
Why don't you just re-enable it with by changing that registry to 1 and then move the slider down to the off position?
Just installed ClassicShell v4.1.0, and problem solved, even better I don't see that stupid metro any more, that is for tablets no PC's. I'm going to use the PC, Microsoft should not think what is better for me, the farter they should go is give me alternatives and let me take the one I like better. Thank to you for your time and advices.
