Microsoft knows this has so much power with a certain computer user demographic and I hate it so much. It was the worst, having to teach people to install certain useful software while also directing them to override big scary warnings..."But just this time! Don't do it all the time!"
It made me look shady, it made the software look shady, for no good reason.
...And you just know, sadly they're the same kind of users that will probably repeat that pattern with a suspicious .exe they got in an email.
