Sampei.Nihira Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) The simple modification to this registry key allows us combined ONLY if the UAC is set as a precaution of eventual bypass to the maximum value (always notify) to prevent the installation of unsigned malwares. I'm not sure (as I used to be) if the trick can be applied from Vista. If kindly some forum member can verify. In my time the possible modification was only manual. It is only necessary to change to 1 the value of defalt 0 of the registry key: Today you can also use the Hard_Configurator software. To perform the simple and harmless test after this modification you can use the 7-zip software (which is unsigned) and try the installation. An anonymous (at least in the explanation) on-screen pop-up will notify you of the inability to install. All unsigned malwares will get the same treatment as 7-zip installer.

UCyborg Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 You're lucky that I'm just on a trip back in time messing around with Vista and can confirm the setting works. I applied it through GUI, accessible through both gpedit.msc and secpol.msc. Instead of an UAC prompt, an error appears stating A referral was returned from the server.

Sampei.Nihira Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Thanks for the confirmation that it works in Vista. Yes it is an odd alert. Thanks again time traveler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
