    You know, I remember when macOS made fun of Windows Vista’s gen1 UAC asking for permission to do anything.

    It seems now the turns have tabled.

      Geez Microsoft is so terrible about this. It doesn’t help that certain apps are coded like shit as well. Ubisoft Connect literally asks 3 TIMESEVERY TIME YOU OPEN IT for UAC permissions. Once a week would be absolutely a joy in comparison.

        If you hold down the escape button, it will deny all the UAC requests as they come in. It’s pretty satisfying to watch, actually

        That’s not a Microsoft problem… Ubisoft Coneect should not need admin permissions to do anything tbh

        Nvidia GeForce Experience asks once you install driver updates but not right away lol. It’s gotta think about whether it needs it first I guess. Really ponder whether it should ask. So you gotta wait for it to ask before you walk away to do something else.
