To fix the UAC prompt on every start of Battle.net, you must change the owner of the following folder:
“C:\ProgramData\Battle.net_components”
It just needs that folder it not need the subdirectories.
You must change the owner from “administrators” to something like “users”.

For n00bs: Right-click on that folder, select “Properties”, select the “security” tab, click on “Advanced”, near the owner row on top click on “Change”, write “users”, click on “Check names”, “OK”, “OK”, “OK”. Done

For automation maniacs, run this command with admin privileges:
icacls “C:\ProgramData\Battle.net_components” /setowner “users”
