'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.

    I understand you're tired, let's work this out together. Did you leave the same in the image below?

    Juliana my dear, read this very carefully I would like to write it only once more. Whenever I try to change almost anything on my PC I get the UAC prompt which asks me if I really want to do it. I do of course but there is NO YES BUTTON :-), so I can only select NO which closes the UAC prompt and leaves me where I began.

    Not once have I been able to open the Account Control so I can check if it's correct.

    Adrian.

    1. Click the Windows + R keys
    2. In Run type: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    3. Click Ok
    4. Restart the computer

    And see if UAC appears the Yes
