The reader received a call from a new employee who reinstalled AutoCAD via the software repository used in the company. After starting AutoCAD for the first time, the UAC opens and admin rights are requested. The cause is the following Microsoft updates from August 12, 2025 (see <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2025\/08\/13\/patchday-windows-10-11-updates-august-12-2025\/\">Patchday: Windows 10\/11 Updates (August 12, 2025)<\/a>):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>KB5063877: Security update for Microsoft Windows 10 2019 LTSC<\/li>\n<li>KB5063709: Security update for Microsoft Windows 10 21H2\/22H2<\/li>\n<li>KB5063875: Security update for Microsoft Windows 11 22H2\/23H2<\/li>\n<li>KB5063878: Security update for r Microsoft Windows 11 24H2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to Bernie, the problem no longer occurs if the updates are uninstalled. All clients on which AutoCAD was already started once before installing the August 2025 update are not affected. It therefore only affects new installations of the software on Windows after the above updates have already been installed. When AutoCAD is started for the first time, User Account Control (UAC) is invoked and administrator permissions are required.<\/p>\n<h3>Confirmation in the AutoCAD forums and from support<\/h3>\n<p>In the Autodesk forum, there is a thread titled <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/installation-licensing-forum\/why-is-a-random-msi-running-for-standard-users-the-first-time\/td-p\/13772700\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why is a random msi running for standard users the first time they open AutoCAD?<\/a>, where an administrator asks why the MSI installer is suddenly being called up and requesting administrator permissions. It is quickly confirmed there that this is related to the August 2025 updates for Windows.<\/p>\n<p>Autodesk has now published a support article entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/support\/technical\/article\/caas\/sfdcarticles\/sfdcarticles\/After-installation-of-Security-Update-for-Microsoft-Windows-AutoCAD-products-request-admin-credentials.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After installation of Security Update for Microsoft Windows AutoCAD products request admin credentials<\/a>, which summarizes the whole case.<\/p>\n<h2>Firefox and SAP also affected<\/h2>\n<p>German site Dr. Windows has a German <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drwindows.de\/xf\/threads\/patchday-august-2025-sicherheitsupdates-f%C3%BCr-windows-10-und-neue-features-f%C3%BCr-windows-11.191840\/#post-2111294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post in its forum<\/a> dated August 15, 2025, pointing out that the Firefox browser and SAP applications are also affected by the same behavior. A follow-up post states that the problem has been confirmed. It is due to security hardening measures with the August 2025 patches. Further investigations are underway to determine whether a hotfix or similar solution can be provided.<\/p>\n<p>German blogger Martin Geu\u00df mentioned this a few hours ago in the post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drwindows.de\/news\/msi-fehlercode-1730-firefox-sap-und-autocad-fordern-nach-august-patchday-adminrechte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSI-Fehlercode 1730: Firefox, SAP und AutoCAD fordern nach August-Patchday Adminrechte<\/a> and writes that after closing the UAC dialog box (without entering an administrator password), error code 1730 is returned by the MSI installer. Several pieces of information were then added to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drwindows.de\/xf\/threads\/msi-fehlercode-1730-firefox-sap-und-autocad-fordern-nach-august-patchday-adminrechte.191908\/#post-2111913\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the German forum<\/a> by those affected.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In addition to Windows 10 and Windows 11, the problem can also be reproduced on Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 (and presumably also on Windows Server 2016 and 2025).<\/li>\n<li>The error only occurs if the software in question is installed via a software distribution solution in user context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The consequence of such installation is that the program entry in the Start menu is adjusted again by calling msiexec.exe for repair, when the user first launches the program. This is precisely what triggers the UAC query.<\/p>\n<h2>A workaround: Disable LUA repair<\/h2>\n<p>The workaround, which is supposedly provided by AutoCAD Support in<a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/installation-licensing-forum\/why-is-a-random-msi-running-for-standard-users-the-first-time\/m-p\/13782174\/highlight\/true#M160716\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> this Autodesk forum post<\/a>, is to disable the Limited User Account (LUA) repair of the MSI installer using the <em>DisableLUAInRepair<\/em> policy. To do this, set the 32-bit DWORD value DisableLUAInRepair to 1 in the registry key:<\/p>\n<pre>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Installer<\/pre>\n<p>Then the UAC prompt should no longer appear.
