That would be bad, very bad. Not just from a security perspective - certain UWP apps on Windows 10 misbehave considerably if UAC is disabled. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Klaus Hartnegg Sent: 10 March 2017 16:24 To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Sohpos disables UAC ? Has anybody recently seen Sophos Antivirus ("Endpoint Security") disabling User Account control in Windows 7? Many computers here suddenly have UAC off, and my research points to Sophos installer/updater as culprit: UAC stays on when rebooting normally, but reproducably switches to off after a reboot that followed an install, uninstall, or larger update of Sophos. Maybe it only happens if SRP is turned on. I will continue testing on Monday, but maybe others already know more?? I had previouosly read complaints that antivirus software sometimes disables certain security features, but UAC!?!
