How to fix or remove UAC?
I agree with you. I obtained it from the official site (link shared earlier), and I managed to set it up, install it, and run the program. There were no Windows warnings except for the setup requesting elevation permission, which is typical. Another possibility is that a system tweak tool or registry changes were used to modify the GPO associated with this. Unfortunately, I’m not sure which GPO was altered. I’m more interested in whether a new admin local account was created and tested, or if there was a system-wide restriction.
You're experiencing the same problem today. The process of downloading and installing Streamlabs OBS and Windows isn't working as expected. Previous attempts to fix it haven't helped, and the error remains consistent with what others reported. It seems the issue might be related to a recent update or compatibility problem between the installer and Windows.
If you are trying to install Streamlabs OBS and get the blocked by administrator warning then do the following: can you move the installer to your c-drive directly and rename it to streamlabs+OBS+Setup+0.11.15 (leave .exe if you have enabled to show file extensions) then open command prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator and type or paste (by right-click) the following: c:\streamlabs+OBS+Setup+0.11.15.exe and hit enter. This is a known issue which the developers are investigating to resolve.
What on earth! Oh well, sorted! 2 hours of my life wasted

For those experiencing issues: Remove your web browser cache and old program downloads. Clear your temporary files. Verify your data and time settings are accurate. Sync with Microsoft servers. Restart your computer. If you rely on a different antivirus besides Windows Defender, turn it off or uninstall it. Download the program from: https://streamlabs.com/slobs/download and attempt installation. Let me know if you need alternatives.
Workaround suggested for Streamlabs OBS installation issue. Move the installer to your C drive, rename it accordingly, and run the command prompt as admin. Enter the updated path to launch OBS. This problem is being actively addressed by the developers, with a fix expected soon.
All set!! I created another admin account and it functioned properly. Still puzzled about the problem in my main account. TY
You can't turn off the administrator account. If you need help with that, let me know how I can assist.
