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”

This works on windows 11, cheers
Late to the party, but thank you so much!
in my case user already had access rights to the folder but limited to show and read
since user has full access rights to folder "c:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net" i just also set the same for "c:\ProgramData\Battle.net_components" and it works the same, didn’t change the owner
right click > properties > security > edit / advanced > select user on top > tick “full access” on bottom list (topmost box) > OK = done and works
for me this is CLEARLY an issue that the installer is setting the access rights wrong.
i last installed battle.net on a completely fresh pc and win 11 in 2020 and never had this problem. and since you can find so many questions about this problem in the forum here and the internet this is not a “one time / user problem”.
