Tips and Tricks – Show assembly version numbers in Windows Explorer

Windows 8 – Run everything as Administrator
If you dont need Metro apps to work enter this into powershell:
Run PowerShell as Administrator and paste the following to disable UAC:
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableLUA" -Value "0"
shutdown -r -t 0
If you want metro apps to work: (this doesnt seem to work for me):
If you entered my registry change to disable UAC, re-enable it with the following command:
PowerShell as Administrator (This requires a restart)
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableLUA" -Value "1"
#Default value is 1
shutdown -r -t 0
To enable automatic silent UAC elevation for administrators without breaking the Microsoft Store you should do the following instead.
PowerShell as Administrator (This takes effect immediately)
#The following is equal to the Security Policy “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” = “Elevate without prompting”
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" -Value "0"
#Default value is 2
#The following is equal to the Security Policy “User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure dekstop” = “Enabled”
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableUIADesktopToggle" -Value "1"
#Default value is 0
