I'm curious why it is always recommended to run to have smart filter and UAC at default level.
I had it on for 1 day and it has drove me nuts with all the prompts and after furthur testing, while it does provide some layer of protection, I am far not willing to have smart screen running, but I have other software to provide such layer protection when I disable it. Made 2 VM, one with WD, UAC, Smart Filter and all its default settings to alert and another VM where i remove as much as WD, Smart Smart, etc as I can via DISM and run them side by side and doing my curious testing of malwares and surfing malicious sites.
I was expecting a big difference, but it speedwise it was almost the same or I haven't noticed a difference on the VM.
TL,DR : Whats your view of UAC and Smart Screen
