UAC - Question for the administrator

In earlier versions of Windows, the user of this system software was also the captain of his ship. Even if he was not the brightest in terms of computer technology. They had full administrator access to their system at all times - making it extremely vulnerable to viruses and Trojans.
Since the introduction of Windows Vista, 'User Account Control' (UAC) has been in place. When a user works on a Windows computer, they initially only use simple user rights. Whenever a program requires a higher level of authorization, a window pops up explicitly requesting the user's consent as an administrator. The UAC therefore switches between the hierarchy levels and warns the user that there may be a risk here.
