    • Then type uac, and then click Change User Account Control settings.

    • Do one of the following:
    • To turn off UAC, move the slider to the Never notify position, and then click
      OK. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. You will need to restart your computer for UAC to be turned off.
    • To turn on UAC, move the slider to choose when you want to be notified, and then click

  3. Unable to disable UAC error: To continue type an administrator password and then click yes, but there is nowhere to type a password and yes is disabled.

    To continue type an administrator password and then click yes, but there is nowhere to type a password and yes is disabled.



    I am using windows 10. And I am facing this problem last few days. I can't do anything for that.

    I would like to disable UAC and do various other things, but I can't.
    Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?
    User Account Control Settings (or almost anything from control panel)

    To continue type an administrator password and then click yes. but yes button is disabled and there is nowhere to type password.

    what should I do now??

    Unable to disable UAC error: To continue type an administrator password and then click yes, but there is nowhere to type a password and yes is disabled.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    1. When exactly did you receive this error?

    2. Did you make any changes to the computer?

    3. Did you log in to your administrator account?

    4. Did you install any third party security application?

    I suggest you to check if you have the administrator privilege.

    1. Press Windows + R keys from the Keyboard.

    2. Type netplwiz and click on Ok.

    3. Check if the account has administrator permissions.

    Also try the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    I Suggest you to follow the below steps.

    1. Type UAC or User Account Control on the search bar.

    2. From UAC window, I suggest you to bring down the level to default and check if it helps.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
