UAC conflict with microsoft's camera app

[FukenGruven]

damn.. I just logged on hoping some Windows 8 master could help..

Thanks tezza.. I saw that on another forum..

but that's a very bad idea to do..

I've done that accidentally under Windows 7 when I used the "Take Ownership" registry hack..

(which is why I don't use that tweak)

I know it's not that bad to click yes..

but that's not the problem I have with UAC..

some features & operations don't work with it enabled..

ie. to set file .PDF to PDF-XChange Viewer from Microsoft's Viewer app.. is problematic.. it will not do it..

when I try to edit the offending registry key.. im blocked.. even after taking ownership..

so I had to disable UAC, reboot, then it worked, then rebooted and enabled UAC.. for the store apps..

also most PortableApps that require elevated privileges are problematic..

etc..

not to mention..

Windows 8 is FASTER w/UAC disabled ..

not just from not having to click Yes.. but in terms of performance..

on my notebook.. my RAM usage goes down as well..

and becomes responsive ..

I hope some guru out there is able to find a way to disable UAC completely with Store Apps :)

=====================================================================

UPDATE: I figured out why PortableApps weren't running correctly and very slow..

I had SmartScreen enabled.. with it disabled and UAC turned all the way down..

everything runs smoothly and quickly.. almost as if UAC was turned off :)

this way StoreApps also work ..
