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
