Slow UAC

Hi all,

When I run a program as an administrator or when windows needs my permission
to run a program "User Access Control", it some times, actualy a lot of the
time it takes a long time "up to 10 secondes" until it displays the UAC box,
any help concerning that issue?
Thanks

RE: Slow UAC

Have a look at your PC clock.

You're posting in the future.

Either your clock is wrong or your PC is set to the wrong time zone.

Are your time, date and *time zone* settings correct?

Re: Slow UAC

Shut off UAC.
It does absolutely nothing but ask you if you want to do what you just did.
UAC is a Microsoft legal dodge to put the onus on the user, rather than
Microsoft, if you accidentally install malware that the OS is subject to
because of poor design and incapable of warning you for real if you are
about to do something bad.
I like Win7 but it is as fundamentally flawed in design as XP and Vista: it
still uses a corruptible registry, allows scatter shot installation of dlls,
active x and all the other ills that plague Windows users.

Turn UAC off ?

Too bad there's no sensible answers here. I'd like to break that bottleneck
also. I'm just happy it has stopped crashing as often when it does this popup.

It might be antivirus software slowing things down.
If you have any, try disabling it to check.

No sensible answers? Shut UAC off is the sensible answer. It's a
poorly designed POS band-aid.

UAC does more than you think. Don't turn it off if you want to avoid having to
reformat your drive every time some kid sticks garbage on your machine.

I followed that ignorant answer for a long time. Happily, I haven't had to
reinstall the OS or to do a restore point since.
Turning UAC off is NOT a sensible answer. It works in the background. Theonly
time it is an annoyance is when something needs to run. And You best know
what's asking for access to your machine.

And it shows its ugly head in the foreground all to annoyingly often.

I shut it down 30 minutes after I installed Vista over a year ago.

If it wasn't such a POS band aid, people might use it. As it is, it's
best shut off. If you have a clue about security, you can do better
without it.
