How to Enable or Disable User Account Control “UAC” for Windows

This tutorial will show you how to Enable or Disable the User Account Control also known as "UAC" for Windows 7,8 and Vista by using the command feature in Windows. 

I will be using Windows 8.1.

 

Step 1:
First of all you need to copy the correct code below by highlighting it then pessing Ctrl+C:

• For Enabling the UAC copy this code:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

•  For Disabling the UAC copy this code:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Step 2:
Press your Windows button on your keyboard or go to your home button in the bottom left corner.
