Overview

The Microsoft Windows feature User Account Control (UAC) can interfere when users use alternative credentials in GFI LanGuard. This article shares the process to prevent this interference by disabling it. 

Please note that this process is different from entirely disabling the UAC. 

Process

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Start > Run > Regedit.
2. Browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
3. Create a new DWORD 32bit: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and set its value to 1.
