UAC turns off on Windows 10 when log in to the AD domain

Question

When my Windows 10 logs in to the AD domain of our company, UAC are turned off. Which is annoying and prevent apps from Windows Store to run.

This happens to everyone in our company. This is not happening with prevoius versions of Windows (7, 8), only to those with Windows 10.

AD domain was reinstalled recently, GPO is set to default.

I spent hours online looking for answer, I tried few advices how to set GPO, but nothing helped.

Has anyone a solution or an advice or a tip? Thank you in advance!

Any reason you don't simply use the Windows 10 GPO templates and set UAC to enabled? — BlueCompute, Jan 15 '16 at 12:52
I didn't hear of them, any link? and what about previous Win versions, is it backward compatible? — Petr Gašparík, Jan 15 '16 at 13:23
You're going to need someone who knows about computers, group policy, windows networks etc. Hire a professional. Or use Google. — BlueCompute, Jan 15 '16 at 13:29

Enable the GPO where the Registry Key is "EnableLua"

to only use this for Windows 10, add the following wmi filter to your GPO but attention! - the wmi filter is for the whole GP, not just for EnableLua! So if you put a WMI filter into your GroupPolicy Object, only windows versions declared in wmi filter will accept the GPO. Others will ignore it.

select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version like "10.%"
