  2. Select System and Security.
  3. Under Security and Maintenance, select Change User Account Control settings.
  4. Move the slider to one of the following levels:
    • Notify me when apps try to make changes to my computer
    • Always notify
  5. Select OK to save your changes.
  6. Select Yes when prompted to confirm the changes.
