Windows UAC Manager

Windows UAC Manager is a lightweight and portable command-line application designed to help users seamlessly deactivate and reactivate User Account Control (UAC). Even if they are not experienced with console programs, users shouldn't have any issues with this tool, since it has highly intuitive and easy-to-use options.

Portability advantages

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the executable file in any directory on the hard disk and simply call its process from a Command Prompt dialog.
It is also possible to save it to a removable storage unit (like a pen drive) to run it on any machine seamlessly and without previous installations.
Worth mentioning is that the tool does not modify Windows registry settings or create additional files on the disk, leaving it clean after removal.

Straightforward command lines

The console is immediately populated with all available commands at Windows UAC Manager's initialization. So, you can enable and disable the UAC, as well as view its current status; all messages are shown in the console. There are no other noteworthy options available here.

Evaluation and conclusion

CPU and RAM consumption was minimal during our testing, as expected. We have not come across any problems, since the app did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. On the other hand, it does not bring anything new to the table, since the same operations can be performed by using Windows' default features. Therefore, Windows UAC Manager mainly caters to advanced users who frequently work with command-line software.
