[QUOTE="piquiteco, post: 1014660, member: 96829"] I have always used a standard account since windows XP, at the time I used "SuRun" because in windows XP, it was bad to use the administrative account, after Microsoft introduced UAC in windows vista, 7,8, 8.1 and 10. I just use the standard account. I don't do nothing in standard account, like elevate administrative privileges, install programs, not even change the date or time, to avoid the privilege escalation, when I need to install or update something, I log out and go into the Admin account and do what I need, it takes 5 seconds, using this way since then I never had problems, then I discovered the magnificent tool of [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] Hard_Configurator now the account has become even more restricted.;) [/QUOTE]
