Windows UAC (User Account Control) can prevent user accounts that are members of Administrator groups from performing functions that they have permissions to perform.

E.g. Starting a Windows service with a “net start” command.

It appears that Microsoft have decided an Administrative user is not an Administrative user.

It is recommended that UAC is disabled to avoid permission-related issues.

Microsoft forces you to reboot the server

To disable UAC:

• Login with the credentials being used to run Argent products
• Navigate to Control Panel
• Double-click on User Accounts
• Click on Turn User Account Control on or off
• Un-tick the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer option
• Click OK
• A message will appear saying You must restart your computer to apply these changes
• Click Restart Now
