I always create a local account with admin rights and I want UAC disabled and the files and programs which need to be run with admin rights to automatically do it (so I don't have to do it myself) so could someone tell me what Enable UAC - Filter all administrators (EnableLUA), Filter built-in Administrator, Installer detection, Secure Desktop on Prompt, UAC Admin prompt, UAC User prompt, UIAccess secure location require and UIAccess toggle settings do (as well as maybe other related settings)? I already searched for them on the web but it's still hard for me to understand.

What are UIAccess Applications, Admin Approval Mode, Secure Desktop (and maybe other related things to these settings), what will happen if I enable/disable them and what should I do since I told I don't want to be bothered with prompts but still run the programs with admin rights (it looks like a setting regarding Admin Approval Mode may mess up Edge Chromium and I won't be able do change its settings)?

Hi! Welcome to Sysnative!

Enable UAC - Filter all administrators (EnableLUA), Filter built-in Administrator, Installer detection, Secure Desktop on Prompt, UAC Admin prompt, UAC User prompt, UIAccess secure location require and UIAccess toggle settings do

UIAccess Applications , Admin Approval Mode, Secure Desktop

Hopefully, the above links will help answer your questions.

I'm not sure about the issues with Edge Chromium.

Turn off UAC in Windows 10

Thanks, but I already read that and it's a little complex (maybe the fact that english isn't my native language contibutes).
 
Configurações de política de grupo e chave de registro de controle de conta de usuário (Windows 10) - Microsoft 365 Security




Here are the ISO Language codes to change a website that has the available language code in its url. Not all sites will have this.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/user-account-control/user-account-control-group-policy-and-registry-key-settings#user-account-control-run-all-administrators-in-admin-approval-mode

See the en-us, I changed it to pt-br which is what I assume is your native language of Portugal or Brazil.

Thanks, even though I'm redirected to my language it's not the portuguese version but the brazilian one. Anyway, I think it's not a question of being in my language. It's simply a difficult subject for me.

Ahh, I understand. Sorry about the language mishap.

It will take some time to address each and every issue you have listed. So, sit tight.

When I try to sign in, Edge Chromium states:

"We can' t sign you in right know

Sign in is not supported when running Microsoft Edge as an administrator. Please relaunch Microsoft Edge as a non-administrator and try signing in again.".

Maybe it has something to do with Winaero Tweaker, O&O ShutUp10, Win10Privacy and Ultimate Windows Tweaker did.
 
Nope, I have the same issue. I submitted it to the MS Feedback Hub. Use the Feedback Hub as much as possible, they are listening.

Hit start, type feedback, it should come up.

And to the above request, I should have said "sit tight until the COVID19 is over".

I uninstalled that app (among many others). So, you didn't use these programs? I thought I was one of very few complaining about this issue.
 
I tried an untouched image but afterwards I used Winaero Tweaker, O&O ShutUp10, Win10Privacy and Ultimate Windows Tweaker and I'm also having this problem.

I tried an untouched image, used Winaero Tweaker, O&O ShutUp10, Win10Privacy and Ultimate Windows Tweaker and I can't even install the latest CU, which is needed for Edge Chromium. I'm having the 0x80073712 error.
 
Hi!

The Edge issue is indeed a bug. The update issue is cause by the hardware failure that we have discovered and can be remedied only by a proper hardware replacement and a fresh install of Windows.

So, it's not caused by a policy or it is but shouldn't?

Will Edge Chromium be offered in WU and why is it offered only in english requiring the users who don't want it in it to change its language after installing it?

The only place, that will do any good complaining about Microsoft issues is, the Feedback Hub. There is a Team that works on all things Windows 10, they are at the Feedback Hub. There is overwhelming evidence that they are listening.

But do you have this problem after a clean install and without using the mentioned programs?
 
So, after doing a clean install using an untouched image and not using the mentioned problems I'm not having Edge Chromium's sign in problem so I don't know why I was told it was a Edge Chromium bug. One (or more) of the tweak utilities should be causing this problem.
 
It looks this problem is related to the "Enable UAC - Filter all administrators (EnableLUA)" NTLite setting. I set this setting as default, didn't use one of the mentioned programs and I was able to sign in Edge Chromium.

Also, I still can't sign in my Google account in Edge Chromium (I think it's because of security reasons, this time). Is it because I'm trying to do it in a VM?

It stated:

"We can't sign you in right now

The Microsoft Edge team has been notified of this issue. Please try again later. Error code: 0".

This problem was caused by the removal of AAD Broker Plugin and AccountsControl by NTLite.
