UAC

We had most of the office upgraded to windows 10.
I am not as familiar with windows 10 with medisoft but I'm being told that UAC has to always be turned off. The same for windows firewall.

Both were turned off on the installs of clinical on the workstations however we are being told that sometimes, on windows updates, UAC and Windows firewall can get turned on again.

When this happens, Medisoft clinical will not load. Our staff does not have the knowledge to, and I don't want them to turn off UAC, etc.
Is anyone else having this same intermittent problem?

Yes, we are recommending that UAC be turned off and the firewall be properly configured. Yes, they both can get turned back on again during a Windows update. The firewall only needs to be stopped during an install. We do have a .REG file that we can give to our support customers that they can double-click to disable UAC in the registry. You should talk to your Medisoft support about doing something similar. Take care.
