If you slide down the UAC on Win 7 id doesn't ask for permission. On Win 10 it still does.

The intended behaviour is the same. If yours does not behave this way then it has a fault.
- I have just tested mine and it behaves as intended

Sammy,

The correct term is the Built-In Administrator and its username is Administrator.
- It behaves in exactly the same way as any other Admin account [that you have created] for which you have set UAC to its lowest setting [Never notify].
- Its intended purpose is to be enabled automatically by Windows [only] at the Safe mode login if Windows detects that there are no other functioning Admin accounts on the computer.

I think one of your earlier posts stated that you had already set UAC to Never notify so there would be no point in enabling the Built-In Admin.
- If you ever do set UAC back to a working level you would be just as well off [or, arguably, better off] by creating additional [spare] local password-protected Admin accounts. I have two of these -
- The first of mine is for use in troubleshooting so I do not give any unnecessary additional access permissions to any of my day-to-day accounts.
- The second is held in reserve. Unused, pristine & hence very unlikely to suffer from user profile corruption.
- I write all account passwords down somewhere secure yet readily accessible.
