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!
Forgot UAC password need help!
Hello my father owned the laptop and he forgot the administrator password for it, now I cant install or mostly do any operations on it considering I only have standard user privelages and not admin. My laptop is running on a windows 10, and the administrator account was made locally, no linked microsoft account to it. Is there any utility to bypass this?
UAC - Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
Hello We have about 4 Microsoft Teams Rooms enrolled into Intune right now. We have setup very specific policies and profiles for them. Every time I reboot them - the "Local Security Policy - User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users" gets set to Automatically Deny instead of "Prompt for Credentials" or "Prompt for Credentials on the Secure Desktop". I can't find anywhere in Intune where this configuration is being pushed from in Intune. Using various blogs - I confirmed that the setting is coming from Intune. Is there any way to track a setting back to a specific Configuration Profile or Baseline in Intune? I checked the Endpoint Protections configuration Profiles and the Security Baselines and I don't see anything. Is there another feature that could be enabled through Intune that would effect this setting? Any help would really be appreciated. Colin
