Concerning Windows 10 v1607:
I'm a network administrator who remote controls user's desktops using Remote Assistance and/or Quick Assist. Occasionally, I need to run a program elevated. This causes an elevation prompt on the secure desktop while blanking the helper's screen. I am unable to enter credentials when this happens.
For Remote Assistance, enabling this security option (gpedit.msc) solves the problem:
But, for Quick Assist this policy doesn't have any effect.
How do I fix this? Sometimes, I need to enter credentials in the elevation prompt while helping a user via Quick Assist.
Thank you.
P.S. I checked the manifest for quickassist.exe and was surprised to see uiAccess="true". ... Just FYI

For Remote Assistance, enabling this security option (gpedit.msc) solves the problem:
- User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop
But, for Quick Assist this policy doesn't have any effect.
