Quick Assist, Remote Assistance, UAC, Black Screen and UIAccess
Hi All, I've been facing a problem that I can't get my head around. So I have presentation scheduled for next week where I have to do a deep dive into User Account Control for my team. Yeah I know, but it's necessary, so hear me out. I have a part over sessions, winstation and the interaction of the secure desktop. I want to do a demo on the exclusion for UIAccess applications to bypass the secure desktop in a remote session like Remote Desktop or Quick Assist. So in the past when I enabled the GPO setting: "User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop" the app would allow me to enter credentials for an admin when I did a remote session...... but for some reason this functionality seems to be broken and the only solution is to turn off the secure desktop completely, which (imho) is a no-go. My question, has anyone else encountered this? Is this GPO setting totally broken now, any solutions that leave the secure desktop turned on and allow me to use UIAccess tools with UAC process elevation? Thanks for all that try to help!
