'YES' button on UAC prompt is absent.

There are lots of questions on this on line but no answers which actually work.

The problem is that I was trying to fine a way of saving config files in Microsoft FSX. Everytime I got a 'you're not permitted' response. Then an emergency cropped up and I left what I was doing. When I returned it seemed the PC had decided to do its own thing but I now believe it did a windows update.

The result was that whenever I want to do anything the UAC prompt appears asking me if I really want to. The trouble is the 'YES@ button has disappeared and no offered cure works because the UAC Prompt appears when I try - minus the 'Yes' button so the only option is 'NO'!.

I'm STUCK. Does anyone have a solution that really works - I can't even do a system restore.

    Make the privileges box unmarked, to see if it will work, if it doesn't we will do a clean restore.

    Now then neilpzz,

    I have a windows 10 installation DVD. When I upgaded from Windows 7 I had the local expert do it for me as my graphics card had expired. He did say something about 'local' but I can't recall what he said. I really didn't want to upgrade to Windows 10 because I was used to Windows 7 and only usethe PC for Electronics Design anf fiddling with Flight Sim X. (As well as transferring cash bail-outs to my grand daughter!

    I'm approaching my dotage now and find this all very challenging though I never used to having bought my first PC as a 286 with Windows 3!!!

    So, enough life story, I have downloaded files for the Media Creation Tool but once again the UAC prompt won't let he use it!

    I do have a Microsoft Account though I never access it.

    Juh,

    It's the same but different. When I get to your instruction 7 (Create New Task) there's no checkbox for Administrator Privileges.
