UAC permissions prompt

by Jctech2025 . Updated 1 year, 6 months ago

Hi All,

I have two thoughts here that I’m hoping can get insight in one shot. I have a client on their Windows 10 machine, they get a UAC prompt for permissions when they
One, try to added themselves to the user permissions on a folder when they hit “properties”
Two, they try to modify their IP address settings on their network adaptor to test connection

I know these are two different settings but they get the same UAC prompt, so I’m trying to figure out if this is a registry setting forced by GPO or something else.

As an example of the prompt they get for the network adaptor settings, I found this article How can a user change network adapter properties without admin permission? – Microsoft Q&A, but it looks like maybe there are steps missing.

Any insight is appreciated.
