User Account Control keeps turning on by itself after I turn it off. How do I stop this?

I don't have the Pro edition of windows so I don't have group policy editor. My windows user is an administrator, and it's not part of a network so my user settings are not controlled by a network administrator.

  • How exactly are you turning off UAC. UAC in Windows 8+ can only be disabled with a group policy. Since you have Windows 10 Home I have a suspicion whatever method you have been using isn’t actually disabling UAC. You can [edit] your question so there is an appropriate amount of information so that your question can be answered. Turning UAC to never notify doesn’t actually disable UAC. **Disabling UAC on Windows 10 will disable all UWP applications.** – Ramhound Feb 27 '21 at 16:01
  • I have updated my question with the method I used. – desbest Feb 27 '21 at 16:06
  • See the duplicate. That doesn’t disable UAC on Windows 10 – Ramhound Feb 27 '21 at 16:08
  • It is utterly foolish and ridiculous to turn UAC OFF. Up to you, but wise people leave it on. – John Feb 27 '21 at 16:13
  • @John - I agree; However, it being dangerous, doesn’t answer the question. – Ramhound Feb 27 '21 at 17:54
  • Turning UAC off isn't dangerous and isn't real security. It's more of a "are you sure you want to do this?" to prevent newbies who aren't computer savvy from making bad decisions. All UAC does is alert me if I truly want to do the things I chose to do. Like if I want to open a website in Firefox, if I want to rename a file, or if I want to install a program. But of course I want to do it, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to do it. If I opened a virus, UAC won't detect the file as a virus, or even block the virus from running. It would just ask me if I wan to run it. It cannot detect threats. – desbest Feb 27 '21 at 18:55
