Its purpose is to remind you of the potential danger of making changes to your system. We should take this danger seriously, but we will without thought click yes. It is also easy for a non-authorized person to make changes. This is why it should be required that you enter a password when you make changes. by default Windows does not. On Linux this action is default.

Let’s enable this now!

• Press the Windows Key and type “registry”, then press Enter.
• Select Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
