    Hi @Immer

    You may need to create a new security group , and apply the GPO to get the policy.

    Policy to configure:

    Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Setting > Local Policies/Security Options >User Account > Control > Policy Setting

    User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account Enabled

    User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop Enabled

    User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode Prompt for consent

    User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users Prompt for credentials

    User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation Enabled

    User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated Disabled

    User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations Disabled

    User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode Enabled

    User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation Disabled

    User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations Enabled

    Hope this helps!

    hey@Immer

    Could you please provide more details and screenshot for the issue ? Do you mean the domain users have no permission to access MIC?

    Have you tried the following setting?

    Thank you and have a great day!

    Steps to reproduce the issue :

    Right click on the "Speaker" Icon and select "Troubleshoot sound problems" ... then I see UAC window asking for user name and password.

    I just want grant domain users permissions to "Troubleshoot sound problems " without the need to use Admin account
