UAC virtualization is enabled
ID PE131 Level INFO Category System
Description
The executable does not specify any UAC (User Account Control) virtualization options in the manifest. The system will virtualize access to some file system directories and registry paths, which may be unintended. UAC virtualization should be disabled for newer applications.
Mitigation
If using Visual C++:
- Make sure you pass the
/MANIFESTUACoption to the linker when building the executable.
If using Visual Studio with .NET Console, WinForms, WPF projects:
- Manually add the UAC settings section (
trustInfoelement) to the Application manifest file in your project.
