Common compatibility problems in Windows 8

The following list describes common sources of compatibility issues for Windows 8,
 particularly when using an application originally designed for Windows XP.
  •   User Account Control (UAC)  In Windows 8, by default, all interactive users, including
members of the Administrators group, run as standard users. UAC is the mechanism
through which users can elevate applications to full administrator privileges. Because
of UAC, applications that require administrator rights or check for administrator 
privileges behave differently in Windows 8, even when run by a user as administrator
  • Windows Resource Protection (WRP)  WRP is designed to protect the system in a
read-only state to increase system stability, predictability, and reliability. This will affect
specific files, folders, and registry keys. Updates to protected resources are restricted
to the operating-system trusted installers (TrustedInstaller group), such as Windows
 Servicing. This helps to protect components and applications that ship with the
 operating system from any impact of other applications and administrators. This can
be an issue for custom installations not detected as set up by Windows 8 when they try
to replace WRP files and registry settings and check for specific versions and values.
  •    Internet Explorer Protected Mode (IEPM)   In Windows 8, Microsoft Internet
 Explorer 10 processes run in IEPM with greatly restricted privileges to help protect
 users from attack. IEPM significantly reduces the ability of an attack to write, alter,
or destroy data on the user’s computer, or to install malicious code. This could   affect
 ActiveX controls and other script code that tries to modify higher integrity level
 objects.
