There are solutions to that, like IPC with some systemic "sudo server".

Seriously, even if so, and I really much doubt it couldn't be fixed, its case where too much security is bad for your choices. Majority of Windows devs disable UAC, honestly. Like, almost all of them ? Because its unusable and that Windows sudoers file variant named compatibility something something is just unusable too.
I keep telling my 100+ IT guys (mostly devs), do not disable UAC, its good to know that something requires elevation (even tho it sucks but there are bearable powershell sudo scripts) and you will certainly have to make it on the build server later anyway. But they hate it with passion. I learned to accept the terror.
There are horde of people asking questions on how to disable startup UAC screen for many tools (one example: everything search engine). What I do now is use task scheduler (like many others) to overcome it.
