If the task requires administrative privileges, then yes -- However, as

That's still not turning off UAC, just elevating task manager to run with
admin privileges.

Correct -- However, turning off UAC isn't needed here, just running Task
Manager elevated does the trick in most cases.

The few cases where it doesn't, Task Manager won't act any different
with UAC disabled.

turned off to end a process.
