Being `that someone who mentioned UAC` the purpose of UAC was to
safeguard those that are less nerdy from culprits corrupting their
computer for whatever reason. In practice UAC confronts people so many
times that the people it means to protect have got used to simply click
`Yes` on every pop-up without taking note. And yes it can get very
confusing when you installed something and at first you can't access it
because Windows will prevent applications to communicate with each other
(through internal methods - i.e. file based sockets) when they run in
different elevation modes and not produce any meaningful error
whatsoever. If that happens to you and you don't understand what's going
on, just restart and you should be fine 99.9% of the time.

Also worth noting that if Windows prompts you that you have to reboot to
finish an uninstall then you need to do so before running a new install
because what the prompt means is that Windows has marked some files to
be deleted at boot time and will continue to do so even if you replaced
those files with newer versions afterwards and thus your new
installation will be crippled.
