I installed the Cron daemon running under the cyg_server account, and now whenever Windows 10 gives me a UAC prompt it defaults to asking for the password for "privileged server" and I have to manually click to change it to my PIN entry every time. This is extremely annoying and slows down what would otherwise be very fast interactions. Is there a way to revert this behavior without uninstalling Cron and/or the cyg_server account? And if I run Cron under my own username (I have admin rights, but UAC is enabled) will it be able to automate actions that require admin privileges?

Greetings, WyntrHeart!

Why? Should be installed under LocalSystem user.

Not to my knowledge. Use system scheduler to automate system tasks.
