Since the latest Thunderbird update each time I open my email account I get the Windows Account Control screen asking me if I want to allow this app to make changes to your device. This happens each time I open my email account and like I said it only recently started after the latest update.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue as it is quite annoying to say the least.

Thanks to all.

All permissions were checked off. I think I've solved the issue by reinstalling Thunderbird. Since I did the reinstall the problem has not surfaced. But thank you for the suggestion, it is appreciated.

and do you allow the change? It will not go away until you do.
