Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s the unexpected consequences of disabling the UAC that can get people in trouble. If UAC is disabled, then IE Protected Mode is also disabled. What this means is if a vulnerability is triggered via Internet Explorer, then the resulting code that executes should have the same privileges as the logged-on user.

Detailed explanation-2: -User Account Control (UAC) helps prevent malware from damaging a PC and helps organizations deploy a better-managed desktop. With UAC, apps and tasks always run in the security context of a non-administrator account, unless an administrator specifically authorizes administrator-level access to the system.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are many types of activities that may trigger a UAC prompt: Running a desktop application as an administrator. Making changes to settings and files in the Windows and Program Files folders. Installing or removing drivers and desktop applications.
