Something Is Changing My UAC Levels

Does Webroot modify User Account Control settings at all? I like to run UAC at the maximum level, however something keeps changing it back to the default level, and sometimes it gets turned off completely.
 
I use Windows 10 Pro and have tried to use Group Policy to make the changes stick, but without success. I don't use any other security software apart from on-demand scans with HitmanPro, so I'm grasping at straws a bit. There was a thread back in 2014 reporting that WSA was randomly turning UAC off, but nothing appeared to be resolved.
 
Any ideas?

Thanks
WSA does nothing to UAC that I ever seen on Windows 10 as I have UAC turned off and it's still that way even after the Creators Update. Other OS's with UAC I can't say so you might want to contact support and ask them.
