Thank you. It was a simple matter of elevating the user to admin, changing uac, then changing user back to standard.

Greetings. Workstation is running Windows 10 Pro, attached to a Win2008R2 domain. Trying to change UAC setting for what was set up as a standard user. I'm getting 2 minute long &quot;please wait&quot; whenever attempting system setting change. Want to change UAC from &quot;Always notify me (and do not dim my desktop) when&quot; to &quot;Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (don't dim my desktop)&quot;, but &quot;You must be logged on as an administrator on this computer to select this setting&quot; prevents such action. How do I get elevated access to make that change? Thanks!

Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
