As you might know, Microsoft removed the "classic" UAC prompt in a Windows 10 update. My question is thus: Is it possible to restore the old one from say, Vista/7/8/8.1 and somehow drop it to W10 to bring it back?
I've searched online and found nothing and going over my own VM installs of 7 and Vista has netted nothing of worth. Is it stored in something like shell32, and thus unreplaceable? Any insight would be most helpful. Thanks!
EDIT: I found out myself - it's consent.exe. Tried replacing it with the one from 7 and nope, got errors instead. Had to boot into safe mode and replace it back. Would the one from a copy of W8.1 work?
