Balancing Admin Privileges and UAC for Optimal Security

Initial Situation:

I've been considered a knowledgeable user with an admin account who confidently disabled UAC. All was smooth sailing until today.

The Problem:

I rely on WinGet and WinGetUI to manage and update my apps, which has been working well. However, WinGet refuses to run with admin privileges, causing issues with app installations and updates.

The Attempts:

After finding the "always run as admin" box unchecked in WinGetUI properties, I attempted to open CMD or PowerShell without admin privileges. Despite selecting these options, they continued to run with admin privileges due to UAC being disabled.

The Explanation:

The reason for this mishap was that all prompts were automatically granted admin privileges since UAC was turned off.

The Temporary Solution:

To resolve this issue quickly, albeit unsatisfactorily, I re-enabled UAC and rebooted. This allowed WinGet to run without admin privileges for the necessary Spotify update, even though most other app installations and updates had been trouble-free up to this point.

In Summary:

I, a self-proclaimed experienced user content without UAC, am now compelled to reactivate UAC solely to continue using WinGet effectively.

The Query:

Is there truly no alternative solution? Can a specific app be forced to run without admin privileges while UAC is disabled? Ideally, I wish to disable UAC once more and seamlessly run WinGet and WinGetUI without admin privileges.

I trust you comprehend my predicament. Thank you for your assistance!
