UAC (set to default) is Windows protection which warns you whenever a program is going to make changes to your system. This is usually when you've downloaded something, and just prior to installing, and should not be ignored or considered an annoyance.;)
  1. Go to seach
  2. Type in UAC
  3. Set it to at least "Default"
PS Btw, I nearly:oops: forgot to thank you for sharing your configuration!:rolleyes::D
Do you use any security Add-on (extentions) for your browsers?

Yeah its asks me if i wanna run them or not.
The UAC warning '..asking' (you) whether to 'run' a program about to make changes to your system is essentially giving (you) the USER Activated Control which is a 2nd chance to avoid making a mistake that might have slipped by without your noticing.;)
It would be great if there was a UAC to give drivers another chanceo_O that worked something like this::eek: "Are you sure you want to run your car into the car in front of you which will make changes to your car?":rolleyes::D
