User Account Control (UAC) setting questions and unable to sign in Microsoft account in Edge Chromium

Final word: if you're worried about outdated Edge versions, take the web installer and silent install. By default, Edge will auto-update itself like OneDrive & Skype does.

But my Chrome doesn't, for some reason. I have to go to "Help, About Google Chrome" to start the available updates ever since I installed Chrome (and even so, it would often have problems when updating). Anyway, how can I integrate it and do a silent install?
 
Sorry, but could you explain what will that do?

It's the same as dragging the slider all the way down after install. This is triggered before setup complete.cmd processes so you can fine tune specific behavior if needed. It sounds like your user account is already admin so basically dragging the slider all the way down would be effective.

I already have a setupcomplete.cmd file which triggers Windows 10 pre-activation. I save the $OEM$ folder on the sources one with UltraISO after creating the ISO using NTLite. So, I wouldn't have to edit the setupcomplete.cmd file? If not, I guess I'd have to add Edge Chromium's setup to Post-Setup, add a command to make a future silent install, grab the content (except the pre-activation setupcomplete.cmd file) from the pre-activation $OEM$ folder and place it in the new $OEM$ folder, copy the pre-activation setupcomplete.cmd file entries, save them in the new one and save the image, right?

EDIT: It looks the signing in problem on the Microsoft account on Edge Chromium has to do with the "Enable UAC - Filter all administrators (EnableLUA)" setting on NTLite. Now I set this setting to default, didn't use one of the mentioned programs and I was able to sign into my Microsoft account in Edge Chromium. If I disable UAC with Winaero Tweaker and/or remove AAD Broker Plugin and AccountsControl with NTLite I have this problem again.

EDIT 2: I removed UAC with NTLite, didn't touch its previous settings and I was able to sign into my Microsoft account on Edge Chromium but nothing happened after runnning Microsoft Word and the Photos, Video Editor and WhatsApp Desktop apps so I mustn't remove it. I don't know why after selecting UAC to be removed my previous UAC settings didn't change, though.
