Windows Operating System Fundamentals — Question 45

Which action will trigger a user account control (UAC) prompt in Windows?

Answer options

• A. Accessing the Internet
• B. Changing the time zone
• C. Installing a new program
• D. Restarting Windows
• E. Changing settings in the Display Properties dialog box

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Installing a new program typically requires elevated permissions, which triggers the User Account Control (UAC) prompt to ensure the user is aware of the changes being made to the system. Accessing the Internet, changing the time zone, restarting Windows, and altering settings in Display Properties do not generally require elevated permissions, hence they do not prompt the UAC.
