Windows 10: user account control - my YES button has disappeared. How can I get it back?

I need to get into administrative mode to update security software, but - within used account control - I cannot select YES to the question "Do you want to allow this to make changes to this computer?"There is only the NO box on screen.How can I get the YES option back, please?
