Making Sure User Account Control Is Turned On

We’ll be talking about User Account Control in detail later in this chapter. For now, let’s just make sure it’s enabled on your system:

1. Press Windows Logo+W, type uac, and then click Change User Account Control Settings in the search results. The User Account Control Settings dialog box appears.

2. Make sure the slider is set to anything other than Never Notify at the bottom. Again, we explain the different settings a bit later. If you’re not sure what to go with, for now choose Default (second from the top).

3. Click OK.

4. Restart your computer to put the new setting into effect.
