    Getting UAC message when opening Macrium Reflect?


    Hello,

    Just wondering why I get the UAC message > 'Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?' when I open Macrium Reflect?

    I don't get this message when I open any other app (eg Handbrake, Musicbee, Paint.net etc)?

    Can somebody enlighten me please?

    PS; Wasn't sure where to post this?

    UAC prompt will be shown because Reflect needs to be run elevated, with administrator privileges to get full access to all content on your system.
