Operating System: Windows 11 Home
Version: 26200.9168 Stable Release
What I want to do: Add UAC
In Windows 11, an elevated process opens directly without requiring a PIN. I want it to only require a PIN for elevated processes.
How to do it?
I've noticed this isn't available in the settings menu or anywhere else.
Is there anyone who can help me enable this setting?

Search in the Start menu for: Local Security Policy
Go to Local Policies > Security Options
Scroll down till you see: "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode" (If you are using an Administrator account). Double-click it and change the box to Prompt for credentials.
Hope this helps!

Hello @Thoura Sopheak Nanta!
The setting you mentioned is not visible in the Home version.
And it is only available in the Pro, Education, and Enterprise versions.
Do you know the registry key for this setting?
Oh, sorry for the confusion.
Open Registry Editor, then replace the path with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
The value you should change is ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin. change its value to 3.
Hope this fixes your problem! Looking forward to catching up with you!
Hello @Thoura Sopheak Nanta
