- Thank you BumSkull for your feedback. I will let the team know about this ask.

UAC is not the topic here as such I am not going to discuss my need to keep it disabled, why or how bad anyone may think this is. The debate about UAC has been hashed out on hundreds of forums many thousands of times now. There is no need to do this again.
I understand that this popup is because I have UAC disabled. All I was asking was for a way to suppress the popup for anyone that chooses or must run with UAC disabled. At the very least stop the popup from showing every single time I click a link. Once I open the browser and it gives me the popup one time that should be enough. When a link opens a new tab in the browser where I was already presented with and closed the popup, it should not popup and tell me again. I already know that im in admin mode.
Possible alternitives would be to put a ADMIN MODE banner/icon/ect on the browser window to the right of the tabs under the Min,Max, X buttons. Something that like that where it would indicate all the time no matter what tab that its in Admin Mode but not intrusive after the first popup.
I do like the new Edge browser and have been using it alot since the Dev version first released. Before this I had never even once used the old/original Edge browser.
Elliot KirkIs there any status update on this? We have similar issues with Citrix environments where we need UAC disabled and want to use the new Edge, but users get freaked out by the Administrator mode pop-up. We would like the ability to disable the popup also.
Here is kind of what I would love to see in the New Edge. This is how Visual Sutio 2019 currently handles this. Throwing up an ADMIN label or in the case its actaully a button that opens up the about window.
i think the ideal solution is the same as existing edge: that the browser should not launch
also you can disable write virtualisation system wide before enabling UAC which will prevent breaking existing applications
and since this is likely the fix for your old/critical application it'll fix that too
as for time, it takes about as much time as installing a preview version of a web browser on an apparent business critical machine, you'll be fine
Elliot Kirk Thanks
