And I though I did something wrong. But it was also somewhat broken. MS seems to think that UIAccess is a problem for Administrator Protection (I agree). I guess, that why the following weird things happened:
- pressing 5 times shift resulted in a prompt and pressing allow resulted in EaseOfAccessDialog.exe running as admin (!?)
- Sometimes on login I get a prompt for ctfmon.exe and if I press cancel, it started anyway (!?)
- A lot of UIAccess binaries now ask for admin rights instead of elevate to UIAccess. This also affected third party binaries that (need to) rely on that feature.
- Starting tabtip.exe not only asked for admin rights, but also the signature was not recognized correctly. Starting taptip.exe via COM worked normally ...
And of course. As soon as I found something interesting, it was turned off ...
