Hi all,

Within the past week I noticed when I try to download or have software make an update the UAC appears but only the NO box is there. The YES option has disappeared. I've tried everything to fix it (watched Youtube videos, Google) nothing works. Because it keeps appearing with a NO, I can't do any kind of fixes because I can't get past the box. Could something have become corrupted? Any help appreciated!

    Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.

    You can disable the UAC in the registry editor.

    1-Right-click on Start and select Run

    2-Type: regedit and click on Ok

    3-Go to the Key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    4-Double-click on the EnableLUA and change the value to 0

    5-Reboot you computer

    After that, you should be able to run the repairs without the UAC screen.

    Check if doesn't have any corrupt files on the windows.

    1-Right-Click on Start then click on Windows Powershell (admin)

    2- Type these commands.

    sfc /scannow (and press Enter)

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth (and press Enter)

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth (and press Enter)

    3- The DISM tool will report whether the image is healthy, repairable, or non-repairable. If the image is repairable, you can use the /RestoreHealth (Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth) argument to repair the image.

    Then you can use this command to repair the registry entry for the UAC setting.

    1-Press Win+x

    2-Click on "Windows Powershell(admin)"

    3-Type this command:

    REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99\8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7 /V Attributes /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F

    4- Press Enter

    Hi, thanks for your reply. The system will not let me change the key to 0. I get an error. I've tried other back door options and the computer either gives me an error or I get the UAC.
