Although there seems to be some difficulty in deciding if this indeed an LG problem or a Windows problem.If LG’s software actually disables UAC, that is most definitely an LG problem. How incredibly incompetent! To give you a Linux equivalent, imagine some piece of software simply chmodding everything in $PATH to setuid root, probably because they can’t be bothered to figure out how to deal with operating system security properly. Yes, it is that bad!
Why not simply re-enable UAC?
We have a GPO here that turns on UAC so even if it did turn it off during an install, UAC would be back on after the machine restarted. Is the author claiming the split screen software won’t work with UAC? Why not try it? Can’t the software be “Run as Administrator”?
Sometimes you have to test things and adjust. As a system administrator, testing is my life!
Well, to be quite fair about it, it seems as if the software requires the user (or admin) disable the UAC to function properly, so it does not technically force anyone to do so.
You simply will not be able to continue unless you follow the program’s instructions. Therefore the conundrum, it appears.
