I disabled UAC on my Windows 8 install, but I found that it caused me issues when I needed to install downloaded programs (installation would fail due to no admin privileges).
I re-enabled UAC, but this problem still occurs. I need to manually run downloaded programs as admin to get them to work. I also need to run Google Chrome as an admin in order to get the flash plug-in to work.
Any fix for this?
sfc /scannow
from an elevated command prompt and see if that helps.
