Recently there have been a change in behaviour for Windows Installer application repair option. It started prompting for UAC. Earlier this doesn't use to happen.
So what happened?
In the July 2024 OS updates for Windows 10/11
July 9, 2024—KB5040427 (OS Builds 19044.4651 and 19045.4651) - UAC is now required for windows installer repair option and applicable to belowEarlier when you click on a Windows installer application for repair, the User Account Control (UAC) does not prompt for your credentials.
After you install this update, the UAC will prompt for users.
To turn off the UAC prompt, set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableLUAInRepair registry value to 1.
