Difficulty: EasyWindows Security Settings and User Account Control

A technician needs to adjust the User Account Control (UAC) notification settings on a Windows 11 computer so that prompts still appear when programs try to make changes to the system, but the secure desktop screen dimming effect is disabled. Which setting on the UAC slider should the technician choose?

  1. Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop)Answer
  2. B
    Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (default)
  3. C
    Always notify
  4. D
    Never notify

Answer

The setting 'Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop)' provides UAC prompts without dimming the desktop.
Selecting 'Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop)' ensures that User Account Control still generates elevation prompts whenever software attempts system modifications, but it renders the prompt within the standard user desktop environment rather than dimming the screen via Secure Desktop.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirement
The goal is to receive notifications for application changes while eliminating the desktop dimming delay.
The Secure Desktop feature dims the screen, which can cause graphics performance issues on certain display drivers.
2
Evaluate the UAC slider options
The third slider level from the top explicitly specifies 'do not dim my desktop' while maintaining prompt notifications for application changes.
Selecting this level modifies the UAC behavior accordingly.
