TrueCrypt suddenly asking for User Account Control (UAC) upon boot

I have a gaming computer with Windows 7 installed on the Samsung 850 Pro SSD and all my files on a WD Black HDD encrypted with TrueCrypt (no system encryption). Since December 2014 (almost 6 months now), I've started up my computer and had my HDD auto-mount as the T drive by asking me for my password and never had a UAC prompt show up. As of today, I used safe mode and tried starting TrueCrypt while in it and it said it wouldn't work in safe mode (not a problem for what I was doing). I finished what I was doing and restarted. Now, however, whenever I start my computer in normal mode, instead of it automatically displaying to box for me to input my password, it displays a UAC prompt that I have to switch to, select "yes," and then enter my password. This is more of annoyance that requires a workaround, but it's still weird that it happened after attempting to run it in safe mode. I'm not sure what would have changed, nor how to get it back to not showing UAC. I normally would be fine with simply doing to workaround of just switching to the UAC prompt and selecting yes, but it's bugging me why it was fine for almost 6 months and just started doing that today. I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, so I figured maybe I'd come here for suggestions. Anything would be helpful and I have no problem clarifying anything that needs to be clarified. Thank you very much for any help you can offer!
