[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 77194, post: 978511"] Generally standard user accounts have stronger mitigations from uac bypasses than admin accounts. This policy ( [SIZE=3][B]User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account[/B] [/SIZE]) from this [URL='https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/user-account-control-admin-approval-mode-for-the-built-in-administrator-account']site[/URL] claims: "When the Admin Approval Mode is enabled, the local administrator account functions like a standard user account, but it has the ability to elevate privileges without logging on by using a different account" Does it treat local administrator account as standard user account? Can someone test for uac bypasses? [/QUOTE]
