Hi there!
This is my first post and maybe this helps someone (I found no duplicate post regarding Win 10 and UAC)
Issue:
When I start MM 4 on Win 10 with a User account, I get asked every time by the UACElevator for my admin PW. I have to deny it, even though MM starts and works without more problems afterwards.
Solution:
Start MM with your user rights and let your admin enter his PW once. But do not change the language in the settings. If you do, close MM and then open it again, UAC requires you to enter the admin PW again.
When I experimented with this issue I once had a different behavior: I started MM, was asked by UAC, admin entered PW and I changed language, BUT did not have to enter the UAC again. To 'make sure' the issue came up I had to reboot my system. Weird.
System:
Win 10 x64 1809 with MM 4.1.23.1881. I'm sorry, but I can't remember, when it the issue began (which MM or Win 10 release. [perhaps half a year?])
Other forum member suggested
a) changing the file type associations
b) disabling MM setting to overwrite Windows' standard design
c) enabling 'Run as administrator'. For security reasons I can't do that. (That and other compatibility measures where always off.)
Those hints didn't help in my case.
