UAC Notification Missing

Windows UAC (User Account Control) notification is a security feature in Windows designed to improve security by notifying users and requiring their consent or confirmation before allowing certain system-level changes or application installations to occur. UAC notification helps prevent unauthorized or potentially malicious actions that could compromise the integrity and security of the operating system. Malicious software can run silently in the background without UAC notifications, making it harder for users to detect malware infections and increasing the likelihood of long-term compromise.

Coro enforces the UAC Notification Missing policy when Windows User Account Control settings are set to:

• Default
• Low
• Medium
