User Account Control (UAC) in Windows 11 helps protect your system by notifying you when changes are made. Adjusting these settings allows you to control the level of notifications you receive.
To change User Account Control settings in Windows 11, follow these steps:
- Press the Windows key and type Control Panel, then select it from the search results.
- In the Control Panel, go to System and Security.
- Click on Security and Maintenance.
- On the left-hand side, select Change User Account Control settings.
You will see a slider with four levels of notification settings:
- Always notify: Alerts you for all changes, including those you make yourself.
- Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (default): Alerts you when apps make changes but not for your own actions.
- Notify me only when apps try to make changes (do not dim my desktop): Similar to the default but without dimming the screen.
- Never notify: Disables all notifications (not recommended for security reasons).
Move the slider to your desired level and click OK. If prompted, enter your administrator password or confirm the changes.
By adjusting UAC settings, you can decide how often Windows 11 alerts you about system changes, balancing convenience with security.
Managing these settings ensures your computer remains secure while giving you control over the notifications you receive.
