just put UAC at default, i guess your machine can handle a dim effect.

There one other ? if the alerts because too mush can i lower the amount.
Personally i have UAC at max, the safest level; and i have 2-3 alerts a day when i do some admin tasks while being on SUA. If i put it at default like you, i surely won't have even one.

It look like they fixed it in Windows 10,but in Windows 7 its like a fly buzzing in your ear everyday. Any ideas to quiet the alerts down to only 2-3 times a day.

There is no real solutions, normally you shouldn't have much alerts unless you are doing tons of admin tasks a day.

If you still using Firefox's password manager, I'd strongly recommend otherwise, It's just so easy to get around it with a 2 line script. You can use Lastpass.

You can attempt to use the Windows Task Scheduler to cause trusted software which you need to regularly open with administrative rights to run elevated automatically without any UAC prompt being displayed. Be careful with this method though should you decide to use it, since it could benefit an attacker just as much as it will for you depending on circumstances.

If you do decide to use this method, you'll need to make a shortcut for the scheduled task. You can find out more information on how to do this properly here: How To Use The Task Scheduler To Launch Programs Without UAC Prompts | Digital Citizen
