Turning off UAC entirely reduces system security. Only do this in isolated test environments.

Is my antivirus blocking the application? (You may need to whitelist it).

In short:

Because getuidx64 requests deep user account data, Windows Defender or third-party antivirus suites (like Avast, Bitdefender, or Malwarebytes) might quarantine it.

If you need to run the program frequently, you can configure it to always request administrator privileges: getuidx64 require administrator privileges

If the answer to any of the above is "no," consider running the software in a (e.g., Windows Sandbox, Sandboxie) or a virtual machine.

Leaving it disabled makes your system highly vulnerable. Turning off UAC entirely reduces system security

Press the , type cmd , and right-click Command Prompt . Select Run as administrator .

Low-level security identifiers from the Windows Registry. (You may need to whitelist it)

bool IsElevated() HANDLE hToken; TOKEN_ELEVATION elevation; DWORD size; if (!OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken)) return false; if (!GetTokenInformation(hToken, TokenElevation, &elevation, sizeof(elevation), &size)) CloseHandle(hToken); return false;

If the pop-up happens independently during Windows startup, you need to modify the executable itself.
