Remove Uac Shield From Icon Windows 10

I closed UAC to see if overlays go away or not. Now it's open. But maybe there is a way to remove them without closing the UAC like removing shortcut arrows in this question: Remove shortcut icon overlay from shortcuts on Windows 7
There is another way - create a transparent icon, run TuneUp Utilities and replace the User Account icon with the transparent one, that solves the problem and the shield icon remains in the context menu, but doesn't ruin your icons anymore. TuneUp can also remove the shortcut arrows with just one click and replace basically any icon.
I was able to remove the blue & yellow UAC shield icon from in front of one of my desktop icons by right clicking on the icon, scrolling down, selecting properties, selecting shortcut, then change icon, then you should see your original icon in that window, double click the icon and hit OK. Now it should return back to the original Desktop icon without the UAC icon in front. I hope this has helped...
I've dealt with security settings in both a business setting and my own personal network for many years and still get confused from time to time. UAC is a great step forward from where things were. I strongly agree with those who feel some of the settings are far too complicated, unfortunately the only way to fix the issues would be to start back at square one, and in that case forget backwards compatibility with older systems like xp. I think the main topic of this thread got lost however. The issue here isn't about complaining for the sake of complaining. A user just has some icons that are being covered by another icon. This bothers me too. I have no problem with the warning that comes up when I try to run certain programs, (Microsoft is just trying to help us out a little) but like others, my problem is with the fact that I cant remove the overlay icon. It won't kill us, but it's the little things that make products so great.
I know this is late... I myself am attempting to remove this overlay icon from my apps and games. I believe you are completely wrong in making your statement... people like me pay hard earned money for our pc's, windows, our programs, and then for protection via whatever means. We don't pay for these "protections" to be tossed at us in our face the way UAC does. I like having a clean and beautiful pc including my desktop. So this UAC is in fact annoying to persons like us. Persons like you like to settle for.... whatever... that doesn't mean others have to. It's not complaining... it's pointing our flaws.... like your comment. =]
Either way, for those of us whom just would rather not see a clunky-looking stupid security shield overlay on their program icons, it should only make sense that Windows would have that option built in.
You can use a resource editor to remove common words from the 'Comments' and 'File Description' fields by first loading the program .exe file into the editor. Check the version strings and look for words that could be interpreted as having the potential to change the system, i.e., tweak, recovery, update, setup, install, etc. If Vista sees any of these words, it will put the overlay on the icon. Simply edit these words out of the Version table in the resources.
When an administrator logs on, two separate access tokens are created for the user: a standard user access token and an administrator access token. The standard user access token contains the same user-specific information as the administrator access token, but the administrative Windows privileges and SIDs are removed. The standard user access token is used to start apps that do not perform administrative tasks (standard user apps). The standard user access token is then used to display the desktop (explorer.exe). Explorer.exe is the parent process from which all other user-initiated processes inherit their access token. As a result, all apps run as a standard user unless a user provides consent or credentials to approve an app to use a full administrative access token.
If you notice an application icon or system icon with a blue and yellow shield (Icon overlay) at the corner, it means that the applications need to run with administrator privileges. When you run such an application, you will get a UAC prompt. While they are there for security reasons, it gets annoying to get the prompt every time you run it. In this post, we will show how to remove the blue and yellow shield from an icon in Windows 10.
Right-click on the shortcut icon. Select Properties from the menu. Switch to the Compatibility tab and uncheck the box which says Run this program as an administrator. Click Apply and OK.Índice de contenidos
31 авг. 2020 г.What does blue and yellow shield mean in Windows 10?The blue and yellow shield that shows on that icon is the UAC shield that is being placed on a desktop icon if the program requires permission from the user to run for the accounts protection. This is to prevent other users in accessing the program using their account.
In all new versions of Windows, you can adjust how the Control Panel is shown by changing the View by option. In the top-right corner of the Control Panel, change the View by from Category to Large icons or Small icons to see only icons.
To stop the red shield icon from bothering you, use the Hide the "User Account Control is turned off" icon option at the bottom of the TweakUAC window. If you check that box, Windows Vista should stop displaying the alert. Note that you may need to log off and then log back on to Windows in order for the new setting to take effect. Also note that this option is only displayed if you use Windows Vista; it's not shown on the Windows 7, 8, 10, or Windows 11 computers, because they do not display the red shield alert when you enable the quiet mode of UAC.
Please note that the shield icon isn't always present, but the background coloring does indicate the level of UAC verification required. As with most things, when you see the red UAC warning, you know some serious is going down.
Settings that can only be changed using an Administrator account appear with a blue and yellow shield icon, as per the image above. A Standard user will encounter the credential prompt when attempting to change these settings.
But again, this depends on who is using the system. It is possible to hide an account rather than completely disable it, and there is a built-in Administrator account for backup purposes. Furthermore, turning UAC notifications off isn't a great idea. It simply removes a basic level of system security that, at times, will save your system from a malicious process.

The UAC comes with different security levels. When its options are set to Always notify or Default, your Desktop will be dimmed. The session will be temporary switched to the secure Desktop without open windows and icons, containing only an elevation prompt by the User Account Control (UAC).
The application is installed for All Users, however the Start menu icon and desktop icon for the application has the UAC shield added. However, clearly our application does not require Administrator permissions due to the manifests. Is there any tools to confirm the manifest is correct or why the shield is being displayed? The manifest is shown below for the program file:
When Windows launched Vista in 2008, it brought a large list of improvements over previous versions. One of the largest selling points for Vista was the increased security that it offered and one of the central aspects of this increased security is UAC, but exactly what is UAC? Windows Vista has the built-in ability to automatically reduce the potential of security breeches in the system. It does that by automatically enabling a feature called User Account Control (UAC). The UAC forces users that are part of the local administrators group to run like they were regular users with no administrative privileges.Whenever a user that is a member of the local administrators group (or even a member of the Domain Admins group if the computer is part of an Active Directory domain) tries to perform a task that requires administrative privileges, the operating system halts the operation and prompts the user to acknowledge it prior to running the task. Note the little shield icon next to some of the items in the above screenshot. These items, if clicked upon, will invoke the UAC prompt, and the following message is displayed: In case the user is not a member of the local administrators group and he or she tries to perform a task that requires such privileges, they are prompted to enter the valid credentials of an administrator (similar to the Run As command in existing Windows XP/2003): Although UAC clearly improves the security on Windows Vista, under some scenarios you might want to disable it, for example when giving demos in front of an audience (demos that are not security related, for example). Some home users might be tempted to disable UAC because of the additional mouse clicking it brings into their system, however I urge them not to immediately do so, and try to get used to it instead.In order to disable UAC please read the following article: Disable User Account Control in Windows Vista.
The shield icon indicates that a program may only be started using elevated privileges (read: administrator access). This is part of the User Account Control (UAC). If you really want to disable it, open your start menu, type UAC and open the first and only result, which should be the User Account Control Settings.
The blue and yellow shield that shows on that icon is the UAC shield that is being placed on a desktop icon if the program requires permission from the user to run for the accounts protection. This is to prevent other users in accessing the program using their account. This cannot be removed by default. 2b1af7f3a8
