How To Selectively Disable Uac Prompt For Certain Applications

This is how it can be done to selectively disable UAC prompt for certain applications. Click on the “Start” menu. Right click on the “Computer” entry and select “Manage”.

You will see the Computer Management window. On the left pane, select the “Task Scheduler”. On the right pane, select “Create Task”.

Enter a name for the new task. At the bottom, check the box “Run with highest privilege”.

Next, click on the “Actions” tab. Click the “New” button.

In the Program/Script field, browse and select the application that you want to bypass the UAC prompt (in this case – CCleaner). Once done, click OK.

Close your Computer Management window. On your desktop, click “New -> Shortcut”.

In the new window that pop up, type the following: schtasks.exe /run /tn “TaskName” Replace the “TaskName” with the new task that you have just created. For example, in my case, I will type schtasks.exe /run /tn “CCleaner” into the field.

Give your shortcut a new name and click Finish. That it. Whenever you click the shortcut to launch your application, the UAC will not prompt again.
