Windows 7 UAC pop-ups are 29% less than Vista

  

Microsoft Windows 7 client enterprise security department head Paul Cooke said today that UAC is the most hated feature in Vista, and the number of pop-ups in Windows 7 will decrease. Nearly 1/3. UAC (User Account Control) was first introduced as a security feature in Vista and was designed to reduce the chances of PCs being compromised by malware. But this feature has caused the user's dislike.

Because it pops up the warning window too often, it disrupts the normal user experience. This led Microsoft to consider redesigning UAC in Windows 7 to reduce the number of pop-ups. Cooke pointed out today: "From the public beta and internal beta Windows 7, the number of UAC window pop-ups is expected to be 29% lower than Vista."

As for the user's changes to UAC will reduce its security performance. Suspect, Cooke pointed out that UAC in Windows 7 provides users with a new slider that allows them to adjust the security of UAC, so it does not reduce its security.

In addition, he also said, "We have omitted 16 different pop-up prompts, such as UAC prompts or firewall prompts when installing system updates."
