    Hi,



    I have my UAC set to NEVER NOTIFY so I am not bother by that nag popup. Lately it is getting changed somehow and it is still popping up even though it is set to NEVER. Is there a way to permanently set this to disabled so it cant be changed unless i change it?



    TIA

    However, it would be sensible to find the cause and eliminate it.

    Use Group Policy to disable UAC for local computer (gpedit.msc):
    Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options:
    User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode * Elevate without prompting
    User Account Control: Detect application installation and prompt… * Disabled
    User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications… * Disabled
    User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode * Disabled

    Via Registry:
    reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v PromptOnSecureDesktop /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\luafv /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f
