User Account Control Popup

Hello, Miho. Your concern about the persistent User Account Control (UAC) pop-up you're experiencing is understandable. I salute you for verifying the legitimacy of any requests to modify your device before taking action.

The UAC pop-up is a legitimate security feature in Windows operating systems. It helps prevent unauthorized changes to your computer by asking for permission or an administrator's password.

For now, I recommend closing your QuickBooks Desktop and restart your computer. Right-click the QuickBooks icon, then hit Run as the Administrator. This procedure helps complete tasks that require elevated permission within the application.

Please see the attached screenshot for visual reference.


 

To verify the source of the pop-up and determine the best course of action to ensure the security of your system, I recommend consulting your IT experts since this is beyond the scope of what we can do here.

Moreover, you can visit our Help pages. It contains detailed articles that provide comprehensive instructions on managing QuickBooks Desktop more efficiently.
 

By following the recommendations above, you should be able to determine whether the UAC you are encountering is legitimate. Always ensure that your software is up-to-date. All the best, Miho!
