Clicking Storage Triggers UAC Prompt Is This a New Windows 11 Feature?
Clicking on Storage in Settings now prompts a UAC authorization window, which didn't happen before. Is this a normal update behavior or a problem?

Not usually. Normally, accessing Storage settings shouldn't prompt a UAC window unless administrative permissions are required for specific actions or configurations.

Windows updates sometimes tighten security, especially around system settings and control panels. Prompting for UAC authorization when accessing certain settings like Storage could be part of these security enhancements.
