VUZE UPDATE LOOP SOFTWARE

VUZE UPDATE LOOP SOFTWARE

Possibly fortunate because that would defeat the purpose and provide a relatively easy way for malicious software to elevate itself without displaying the consent dialog.

That leaves perhaps you've accidentally set the compatibility settings in the program or perhaps some setting in the program that has been altered has it attempting to self elevate? Perhaps settings related to file associations? Unfortunately there isn't a UAC 'whitelist'. We can eliminate the last option simply because it is so unlikely- unless you ARE being prompted for a password, that is! The second to last seems plausible but qbittorrent is not signed at all, so there is no certificate to expire. In this mode the UAC prompts require you to enter a password and I don't think they are skipped by the level of UAC. The 'Admin Approval Mode' Group Policy is in place and UAC is enabled. 'Admin Approval Mode' is set to prompt for unverified executables and the signing certificate used to sign the executable has expired. (Usually, the application checks if it has admin, notices it doesn't, then relaunches itself with the 'runas' verb which elevates it and in that process windows shows the UAC prompt if UAC is enabled. UAC prompt appears when: -You launch an application who's embedded manifest indicates that it requires administrator permissions and UAC is enabled -You launch an application which has the 'Compatibility' setting of 'Run as Administrator' and UAC is enabled -The application itself attempts to elevate. Windows updates have not altered the behaviour of UAC inherently.
