In Windows 10 Anniversary Update Microsoft changed the UAC prompt to a newer XMAL based dialog:

enter image description here

When you are prompted to enter your credentials or elevate a program, you will notice the dialog now has a fresh and modern UI to align with the design language in use across Windows 10

I don't like it and would get the old one back. Is this possible?

Vishal Gupta found a way to do it. Run regedit.exe, go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\TestHooks and change the value XamlCredUIAvailable from 1 to 0.

Now you get the old UAC dialog back.

Starting with Creator Update 1703, Build 14971, this trick no longer works. So you can only apply it on the Anniversary Update V1607, Build 14393.
