I keep turning it off via "users" in control panel but it keeps
"reinstalling" itself everytime i reboot and i have to untick it again. I
cannot run program such as Dragon dictate unless I remove UAC. Giving
Administrators permission does not help. Besides it is a "darn" nuisance. I
am the only one using this computer. Is there no way of turning it off
'permanently?
Educate yourself!
Do not work in elevated level; Day-to-day work should be performed while
the User Account Control (UAC) is enabled. Turning off UAC reduces the
security of your computer and may expose you to increased risk from
malicious software.
