How to Enable or Disable User Accounts in Windows 11

In Windows 11, the User Account Control (UAC) security feature prevents applications and users from making unwanted system changes and helps prevent malicious code from running on the computer without your permission. If an application attempts to make changes while User Account Control is enabled, Windows 11 displays a warning to allow or deny the action. If the device uses a default account, the user will need an administrator’s password to allow the action.

Although this feature allows for a more secure environment, sometimes you may want to disable it. For example, if you need to work with older applications that can’t run correctly with User Account Control. Or you may be an advanced user who prefers to use the system without this feature. We have mentioned steps below to Enable or Disable User Accounts in Windows 11.
