Under User Account Control, all users can install critical updates from Windows Update without supplying administrative credentials

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

True - UAC requests approval before running administrative tasks on the computer. UAC redefines what a standard user is permitted to do. Such a user can perform many basic functions that pose no security risk; these functions previously required a user to have administrative privileges. In addition, UAC facilitates the act of providing administrative credentials when users need to perform higher-level tasks, such as installing an application or configuring system settings. Furthermore, UAC makes administrative accounts safer by limiting the types of tasks that can be performed without users providing additional consent. UAC still requests consent before allowing users to perform tasks that require higher privileges, such as system tasks, but there are a range of tasks that all users, administrative or not, can perform without administrative credentials, and installation of critical updates is one of them.
