Overall, Build 10240 is very close to perfect, but there is still Room for improvement. After testing, this version of the user account controls the UAC function to have a bug. Specifically, if UAC is adjusted to “ only notify me when the app tries to change the computer (do not reduce the brightness of the desktop), Windows application (Modern application) if the administrator permission is required, the request dialog will be blocked After the requested Windows application window. The app window is unavailable due to approval by administrator privileges. Therefore, in this state, the user cannot move the window to expose the authorization dialog box, and the authorization request cannot be completed. The application can only be closed by the task bar or the like.

▲Mouse moves to the “X” location will display the UAC authorization dialog

UAC window preview. However, if you move the mouse to a position other than "X", the preview effect will disappear, so the occlusion effect cannot be removed, and the UAC authorization dialog cannot be called up by switching modes such as Alt+Tab.

Therefore, the user can avoid this problem by using the default UAC notification level (the desktop brightness is reduced when the notification occurs), but it is not recommended to turn off the UAC function to avoid increasing system security risks.
