Solved Cmd and Computer Management does not show UAC warning, but runs as Adm

[IMAyNeed]

When I open Cmd, it opens directly as C:\Windows\System32 without a UAC warning.
Same as Computer Management.
Something wrong or is it ok?

Hello IMAyNeed,

Do you have UAC turned on to the top level?

The default level will not notify you if it's only you making changes to Windows settings.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

It is on the default level.
Just I wanted to put an elevated command shortcut to the desktop.
I wanted to run cmd as admin by properties-compability-run as admin-, but it was greyed out.
I clicked on it and it directly opened as c:\windows\system32. (I thought it would be running from c:\users)
So I said to myself is my security working correctly or not.
Thanks for the reply.

Ah, I see. That's a completely different issue.

Starting at step 4 in OPTION TWO of the tutorial below will help show you how to set that shortcut to always "Run as administrator". It uses a different method than through the Compatibility tab.

The thing is it is already starting with c:\windows\system32 without that.
Doesn't that mean that it is already running as administrator?
And if not, can I just select right click-properties-advanced-run as administrator from the shortcut I already have on desktop (I just typed cmd at start button and when it came up, I right clicked and chose send to desktop)?

Not necessarily. As a test, type Diskpart in the command prompt and press enter. If you get a "Access Denied" message, or a UAC prompt, then the command prompt is not elevated.



Try what was posted above to see if you get a UAC prompt when you open it afterwards.

I got an UAC warning, after I allowed it started, so I will make it elevated.
Thanks.

You're most welcome.
