Hi, I keep on recieving this popup down the bottom right of me screen because i have turned UAC off

Check your User Account Control settings user account control is turned off click this notifiaction to fix this problem

Do any of you know if there is a part of the registry where it could allow me to turn this off, if so could you please tell me how

Thanx in advanced
Hello Smiler,
A) In stead of turning off UAC, I have an alternative for you. Basically it will keep UAC on BUT it won't annoy you with all those prompts, as long as you are in administrator account. In my opinion, it's the best of both worlds. Link below : -

User Account Control (UAC) - Elevate Privilege Level

B) However, if you insist to keep UAC off, and you want the popups gone, here is the way :-
Control Panel > Classic View > choose Security Center icon >left panel, click Change the way Security Center alerts me > Choose Don't notify me, but display the icon
That's all you have to do. But remember this, from here on any warning will be in the form of an icon at the notification area, no popups. So, keep an eye on that area or you might miss an important warning, ie Windows Defender off , Windows Update, Firewall off etc.
