Windows 10: UAC freezes when I click yes or any button

Whenever something pops up on user account control (for an update on a game per say) if I click yes (or any button) then it will freeze. I haven't tested leaving it further than about 30 minutes but it just stays frozen. I have windows 10 and Im wondering why this happens. As a result of this I cant play games I buy or download. Please help me out, thx.

• Click on Change User account control settings.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt.
• Drag the box from Always Notify to Never Notify and click on OK.
