When you use TeamViewer to connect to a remote computer, with Windows Authentication, TeamViewer QS will restart on the remote computer with those credentials.

Except it was throwing a Microsoft UAC prompt, asking for those Admin credentials, which I’d already entered.

Except it’s not supposed to do that according to TeamViewer.
(TeamViewer: Is TeamViewer UAC Compatible)

The fix?
Under this Group Policy setting,
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
we were setting it to “Prompt for credentials”

Changing that to Elevate without prompting resolved that.

Isn’t that a security problem?
Yes and no.
Yes, and I wouldn’t be actually changing that Group Policy setting
No.  What I’d probably do is change the underlying registry key to 0, connect to the client computer, and then change it back to 3 when I was finished.
