Yikes. Not sure I want to upgrade now. Seems like MS is really screwing around with stuff lately.
Isn't there a way to reverse some of these "updates"?

The permissions problem occurred on the initial update from W7 to W10 (not an incremental Win10 update).
Not sure, but MS is pretty good about allowing you to roll back updates to drivers. I even had the option of rolling back to W7. So I'll bet you can roll back an update.
you can disable UAC popups, go to control panel, user accounts pick yours then on the left Change user account control settings, pull the slider all the way down for off
every account is separate, so it has to be done in each identity

I really need to play with it some more. I don't generally use a webcam. I'm too old to have much fun with that anyway. 
Just haven't heard too much good about the update process. Maybe I'll get a chance to dig into it more this afternoon. I have 10 loaded on a spare machine at work. Just haven't had much reason to do anything in it yet. Mostly just loaded to practice doing Admin functions for when we have to upgrade here at work.
Funny story. Stepmom calls and says she can't get into her computer. It's asking for a password it never asked for before. I can't remember what we needed to do it for, but she had to reset her microsoft account password for some reason a few days ago. No big deal. But suddenly it decided to make this password the password for her desktop computer. WTF? I don't recall it informing it was going to lock her computer with this password! (To make things more confusing for her, she uses her gmail email account for the Microsoft Account. I have no problem understanding how this works, but for her, it's terribly confusing to keep it all straight.
We finally got her new password reset AGAIN and after a short amount of time pulling our hair out, it decided to sync it with her desktop and she was fine. I guess somebody might want that additional layer of security for their machines, but it was hard for her. She mentioned buying a new computer several times while I was on the phone with her. Had to calm her down a bit and let her know it was going to be fine once we get the password thing figured out. Didn't help all of her passwords were stored in the computer that she couldn't get into!

another tip for upgrade users, the upgrade can seem slow to use compared to the same pc running windows 7, to fix this add a new user , move all your files over and eventually delete the original user when done and its just like a new pc again
