UAC prompt not showing in desktop (admin privilege)
When I launch something that requires admin rights inside the Dash desktop, an stretched icon is shown on the screen in VR. We have to leave VR to continue. This definitely should be fixed ASAP, or at least give us a workaround that could proceed inside VR.

I can still see the UAC prompt in team viewer or anydesk - why is this streamed video interface any different? Seems that's a plausable work around - disabling UAC is a very bad idea.

I suspect that won't be possible since the whole point of UAC is that it is a system level dialog that can't be faked, hidden, or interacted with by an application. Otherwise apps could trick users into accepting the prompt.
You can turn off the UAC prompts in Windows (technically UAC will still be enabled), or if there's a specific app that's causing you problems then you may be able to put it in compatibility mode, so that it always runs as admin.

Agreed. I've temporarily disabled UAC because of this, but I don't think that's an acceptable long-term workaround.
