there are setting to tweak in GPO for the UAC that will let you pull the slider all the way down "0" and still run "Metro" apps 8/8.1/10. My problem is that I do all the windows stuff in GPO but still do a lot of software customizing and file work with Kixtart...I need the slider to be set to "2" but have windows not stop the world to make me click ok for my Kixtart.exe to run at login. The work arounds I've found are good for some but don't suit my particular needs. I'm probably going to have move to powershell and away from Kixtart if I can't find a viable solution.
