Can UAC notify you when additional permissions are required and ask if you want to continue?

User Account Control (UAC) is a security feature in Windows that helps prevent unauthorized changes to the operating system by prompting for permission or an administrator's credentials before allowing certain actions that require elevated privileges.

When actions need additional permissions, such as installing software or modifying system settings, UAC notifies the user and presents a prompt asking whether to proceed with the action. This notification is crucial for security because it allows users to make informed decisions about whether to allow potentially risky operations.

This behavior applies not only to installation actions but also to other tasks that require administrative privileges, regardless of the user account type. Therefore, the functionality of UAC to notify users when elevated permissions are required is fundamental to its design, ensuring that users maintain control over significant changes to their system.
