Skip UAC Prompt

To launch some applications when the system starts, simply add the shortcuts to the Startup folder. These programs will run with normal user privileges, and that’s fine in most cases, but Windows doesn’t allow elevated tasks at startup.

What is Skip UAC Prompt?

To launch some applications when the system starts, simply add the shortcuts to the Startup folder. These programs will run with normal user privileges, and that’s fine in most cases, but Windows doesn’t allow elevated tasks at startup. Therefore, you can’t run programs with administrator privileges on startup. When you run tasks or commands as an administrator, Windows displays a UAC (User Account Control) prompt that you’ll have to confirm if you want the task to run.

You can create an elevated shortcut for the program that will allow you to bypass UAC Prompt and run the program without seeing the UAC Prompt in Windows by using Task Scheduler this requires many steps. For this reason, we have coded the application called Skip UAC prompt. This utility also allows you to enable or disable UAC for the apps of your choosing without entirely deactivating UAC systemwide.
