I just installed a new HDD in my laptop and installed Windows 10 on it. Everything seems to be working fine except that when I use a couple of programs I keep getting a UAC pop-up asking permission to run the program. The two programs I use the most are TeraCopy and Eraser by Heidi. On my old HDD I wasn't getting the UAC pop-ups. Both versions of Windows 10 were updated with the fall creators update. Since I am the only user on my laptop my account is setup at Admin and I am using my Microsoft Account to log in, I do see the option under Settings> Accounts, to log in with a local account instead, which I think I may have been doing on Windows 10 on my old HDD but I'm not really sure. On my old HDD when I logged in my profile picture was the same as it is on this HDD and it showed my Microsoft account name when I logged in, but I think you can sync a Microsoft account with a local user account so maybe thats what I did. I have tried going to Eraser and TeraCopys .exe files in Programs files and I checked run as Admin. I also right clicked the .exe file then went to properties>Security and set the permissions of SYSTEM, Administrators, and Users to Full Control yet I am still getting that annoying UAC pop-up when I try to use either program. I know I can totally disable UAC but I would have to be crazy to do that, but is there a way to disable UAC for certain programs? I have tried putting them in the Task Scheduler but that didn't work, I also tried using this programs that creates a shortcut on the desktop to the program that the program has disabled UAC for. And it works if I click on those shortcuts but with both Eraser and TeraCopy they are in my context menu and when I click them in the context menu I get the UAC pop-up. I am also getting a pop-up when I try to delete a file in a default folder, like Downloads, and Pictures. The pop-up says You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this file, BUT I AM THE ONLY ADMIN ON THIS SYSTEM. So can someone help with these issues I'm having, really the most important is the issue with TeraCopy and Eraser because I use these programs constantly.
