I just installed Node 10 this weekend and the chockolatey boxstarter started to bother me with Please provide your password so that Boxstarter may automatically log you on. every time I log in.
There is no standard way to uninstall the tool (via Windows Settings or Control Panel), only complicated steps described on https://chocolatey.org/docs/uninstallation
While other malware can show a powershell prompt saying "I am Boxstarter, pleaze gief me your password:", I will assume the message comes from the legit installer because of a valid certificate and no antivirus complaints (yet)..
Could the Node installer please behave better? I.e. not ask me for password days after installation, via a shady prompt in powershell that it asked to be elevated to admin privileges, after an attempt to disable UAC?!?
