'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.

    Juh, did you mean me to type all of that in one go? It's not accepted in any case - I've probably not copied it correctly.

    "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe " in one line comes back with REG/? for syntax. but that's unaccepted.

    Is "ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f" meant to be 'added' afterwards?

    Looks like the Independent Advisor has given up. I'll need to go back over what has been posted before I can try to help more.

    Adrian,

    I've looked through the other responses and I cannot tell if you carried out a system restore. (it recommended a password disk)

    Just to be clear I think the Independent Advisor was calling a System Restore a Reset.

    System Restore = restore to an earlier date before a problem occurred. This puts Windows 10 back to how it was on that date but doesn't affect personal files. (hopefully prior to the problem)

    Reset = Puts Windows 10 back to how it came out the box, in a clean state. No installed apps and programs you may have done yourself but there is the option to keep personal files.

    Do you think you can give a summary of where you are now.
