It's helpful to know what apps are running with admin privileges, and I understand why the recommendation is to use UAC. But even after using it for years, it's still disruptive. Especially during those times when it lags. I could set UAC to "Never notify", but that's not a great because I'd be completely blind to when a harmful program is unintentionally run.
Is there be a better compromise?
Say, when logged in and not idle, instead of this:
Could I see this?
I'd be comfortable trading the security boost of being proactive for the productivity boost of being reactive on my home laptop. Is there a way to do it?

What you are looking for does not exist in Windows 10. People have had no problem using
sufor over 2 decades yet feel UAC is disruptive. – Ramhound – 2016-06-14T19:38:14.347@Ramhound Thanks for your comment. Unlike the
sudo[cmd] + [enter] + [password] flow, I just never got used to this and finally decided to ask. Also, just because a behavior existed for years doesn't mean it's good. The Command Prompt required a mouse click (or Auto Hot Key) to paste text for years. Now thankfully, "Ctrl key shortcuts" are built-in. (And without eliminating the use of Ctrl+C forSIGINT.) UAC has existed for years, but I'm sure there's a way to improve this too. – Joe – 2016-06-14T20:42:22.427
