$ uac wtf
The changes were not applied properly.
Incorrect argv argument

You still need to run this module within an elevated command line. See this
Notes²
You still need to reboot windows to make changes effective.
Tests
Tests are not implemented as I was not able to find a relatively simple way to test those behavior changes.
It was manually tested..
