User Account Control (UAC) is a mandatory access control enforcement feature introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista [1] and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, with a more relaxed [2] version also present in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
An autoblock is an automatic block of an IP address.Autoblocks are the result of an attempt to edit Wikipedia from an IP address recently used by a blocked user. Each time a user edits Wikipedia, the IP address from which the edit was made is logged (this log is accessible only by a very small number of trusted users, called checkusers).
when the block ends, or ceases to be an issue for the editor, the exemption will be removed by any administrator. In addition, IP block exemption may also be given by an administrator without a request, to prevent good-faith editors being affected by a hard IP address range block. The editor should be informed that in order to prevent vandalism ...
A hard account block (autoblock enabled, account creation disabled) will apply an autoblock to the IP address the account last used to edit, and disable the ability for the user to create other accounts during the duration of the block.

User access levels are determined by whether the Wikipedian is logged in, the account's age and edit count, and what manually assigned rights the account has.
User Account Control uses a combination of heuristic scanning and "application manifests" to determine if an application requires administrator privileges. [19] Manifest ( .manifest ) files, first introduced with Windows XP, are XML files with the same name as the application and a suffix of ".manifest", e.g. Notepad.exe.manifest .
The administrator who blocked you may contribute, but any decision will be made by the reviewing administrator who takes all points made into account. If the reviewing administrator thinks it is necessary, or it is required by policy (such as community bans or equivalent ), the reviewing administrator may open a thread at the administrative ...
By default, Windows Vista and later use User Account Control (UAC) to enforce security. One of UAC's features denies administrative rights to a user who accesses network shares on the local computer over a network, unless the accessing user is registered on a Windows domain or using the built in Administrator account.
