Did you actually disable UAC on your PC?  Windows 8 and later are not intended to operate with UAC disabled.  Windows 7 was the last OS to fully support that mode.  Windows 8 and later leave UAC enabled and simply silently elevate when the UAC slider is slid all the way down to Never notify.

    

Please follow the following steps to check and fix your UAC settings:

 

- Launch Registry Editor (press [Windows] + [R], type "regedit" and press [Enter]).

 

-Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Policies -> System.

 

- Make sure that the EnableLUA value is set to 1 (or is non existent).  If it is set to 0, fix it and reboot your PC.

In the future (although it is strongly not recommended), if you wish to not see the UAC elevation messages, follow these steps:

 

- Type "uac" into the Windows search bar, and click the Change User Account Control settings search result.

 

- Drag the slider down to Never notify and click [OK].
