Yes, the image you sent is the UAC prompt that I am referencing.
This morning, I performed the following steps per your instructions:
- Shut down and then rebooted laptop.
- Set timer, clicked to disable Malware Protection and started timer. In under two seconds, the UAC prompt displayed.
- Reset timer, clicked to disable Web Protection and started timer. This time, the UAC prompt was displayed in under two seconds.
- I repeated this exercise, leaving some protections disabled and then clicking to disable Web Protection, and other times, disabling and then re-enabling other prompts and then disabling Web Protection. In no instance was there ever a noticeable difference in the display timing of the UAC prompt.
- Yesterday, I was able to review and play with the settings in all four Advanced Setting options before the UAC prompt for Web Protection was ever displayed. I considered that delay to be too long, and perhaps confusing for a user if he had had the time to disable multiple settings as I did.

Attempting to change the Web Protection option from ON to OFF resulted in a long delay before the confirmation window was displayed. This is not true with the options for Malware Protection, Ransomware Protection, or Exploit Protection. I tried this several times to confirm this behavior. One time I had moved on to checking other options on another window and had totally forgotten about asking to change the Web Protection option when the confirmation popup was finally displayed. Should a user be allowed to navigate away from a window after requesting a change that requires confirmation?
Confirmation to change Web Protection very slow
