How to make UAC ask for username and password every time?

Question

if i start a CMD with elevated rights the UAC asks for the password of my current user, which is only a normal user. So i need to switch the user under "weitere Optionen" (more choices)

If i start a setup i get directly prompted for username and password appears.

Can i configure windows (GPO) to always (eg. start cmd.exe) ask for username and password in UAC dialogs?

For this edit the local security policy start secpol.msc. When started go to Local Policies > Security Options and look for "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval mode" The standard setting for administrators is "prompt for consent" but you would want to change it to "Prompt for credentials."

The default on my fresh Win10 1803 is "Prompt for consent for non-Windows binaries" an changing to "Prompt for credentials" or "Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop" doesn't change the behavior. – Marco Oct 09 '18 at 09:07
After changing, did you run gpupdate command? – Anurag Gawande Oct 09 '18 at 09:41
Yes and i restarted the system. – Marco Oct 10 '18 at 12:50
