When I was running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, I had UAC disabled and everything was working smoothly for me. Now I've updated to Windows 10 Pro 32-bit (and recently also the 2015-11 update), I'm having a few issues. Although I have UAC set to "Never notify" in Control Panel, I find that certain activities are still fettered by UAC. For example, Windows Explorer doesn't let me create a file in certain folders, such as C:.
I use the Command Prompt quite a lot. In Windows 7, with UAC turned to "Never notify", Command Prompt automatically started as Administrator; whereas under Windows 10 I have to explicitly right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". More annoyingly, when I connect to the Windows 10 machine from another PC, using NET USE
with my username for the target machine, I don't have access to do anything in folders that need admin access. I haven't found a workaround for this.
Is there a way to completely turn off UAC in Windows 10, so that I can do all admin tasks easily?
