UAC prompt window delays at least 1 minute in Windows 7

0

I have an issue with UAC, only when is executed for first time it delays at least one minute, after that, any task which requires it, the UAC promps in 2 or 3 seconds.

When I waiting that, I see in Task Manager a process named consent.exe, that's maybe the problem.

There's any way to solve this delay?

My system specs:

  • AMD Phenom X3 8400 @2.1 GHz
  • 2 GB DDR2 memory
  • ATi Radeon HD4550 1 GB GDDR2 (I've read that could be graphics device)
  • Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bits

I saw this when a monitor is connected via DVI or HDMI, but no via VGA. It was fixed after updating the Video card driver. – magicandre1981 – 2014-10-03T16:56:49.993

@magicandre1981 yeah, my display is connected via DVI and I recently updated videocard drivers and is solved. – FukYouAll – 2014-12-24T08:54:14.630

Just for anyone who stumbles on this page looking for a way to avoid delays when UAC is asking for confirmation to give administrator rights to a program, the solution is in another question: Stop UAC/Secure Desktop from dimming the screen.
