The app manifest includes entries for UAC app compatibility purposes. Administrative apps that include an entry in the app manifest prompt the user for permission to access the user's access token. Although they lack an entry in the app manifest, most administrative app can run without modification by using app compatibility fixes.
App compatibility fixes are database entries that enable applications that are not UAC-compliant to work properly. All UAC-compliant apps should have a requested execution level added to the application manifest. If the application requires administrative access to the system, then marking the app with a requested execution level of "require administrator" ensures that the system identifies this program as an administrative app and performs the necessary elevation steps.
Requested execution levels specify the privileges required for an app. Installation programs are apps designed to deploy software. Most installation programs write to system directories and registry keys.
These protected system locations are typically writeable only by an administrator in Installer detection technology, which means that standard users do not have sufficient access to install programs. Windows 10 and Windows 11 heuristically detect installation programs and requests administrator credentials or approval from the administrator user in order to run with access privileges.
Windows 10 and Windows 11 also heuristically detect updates and programs that uninstall applications. One of the design goals of UAC is to prevent installations from being run without the user's knowledge and consent because installation programs write to protected areas of the file system and registry.

User Account Control informs you when a software program is trying to make changes to your computer that require administrator-level permission. User Account Control helps protect your computer from being changed by unauthorized sources. User Account Control displays differently for Standard user accounts and Administrator accounts. User Account Control with Standard user accounts If you are logged into a Standard account, and User Account Control prompts you for a password, type the Administrator password, and click Yes to continue.
If you do not know the Administrator password, you cannot continue. User Account Control with Administrator accounts If you are logged into an Administrator account, User Account Control asks permission for a program to make changes to the computer.
By default, User Account Control displays for Administrators only when an outside program tries to make changes to the computer. Click Yes to continue, or click No to prevent the program from making changes to your computer.
