Windower Crashing When Windows 10 Requests Admin A

I don't know if this is just how Windower has always worked but for as far back as I can remember, if Windows does ANYTHING that pops up the Admin request screen, Windower just crashes. It means I can never install anything while it's running or worse, if I accidentally cluck the Windower shortcut, the "This program wants to modify your system" screen just takes it down.

Is there a fix for this? Or is it just expected behavior?

Use dgVoodoo.

Far as I recall that's been normal for Windower, and usually you'd just lower the UAC setting so Windows doesn't do that.

Not that using dgVoodoo is a bad idea either.

What Isiolia said. Go into "Change User Account Control Settings" and lower the setting 1 notch to the "do not dim desktop" setting and it will fix this.

(don't lower it all the way to the bottom, as that disables UAC)

Or just disable UAC as it's a broken fake "security" mechanism that has no value.

Horrible advise.
UAC is the escalation process for a process priviliges. Disabling it mean you get access to the admin token instantly.
For home user it just meants you are no longer asked to provide the admin token to a process and its automatically given. which DOES lower your security

However people that dont understand how UAC and admin tokens works tends to also do this horrible advise in bigger environment and what happens here when a user does NOT have an admin token, is that escalation is no longer available, aka "run as admin" does no longer work. It just creates a mess


lowering it one tick down is the right response as it just remove the privacy screening ( the dimming effect) on the UAC popup


Personally im using dgvoodoo to since it address the problem directly rather than a workaround for UAC.

None of that is true. You can test it out yourself by disabling UAC and trying to run something as admin.
