Windows 10: user account control panel

When I try and download an app on Windows 10 Pro the UAC panel only has a 'NO' option. The 'YES' option is missing. Have tried various options listed on internet sites but nothing works to date.

Thank you

How do you change a user account to an administrator account in Windows 10?

Hi Fiona,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to go to control panel and check your user account status. Right click on the start button and select control panel in the menu. In the control panel, click on the 'view by' option in the top right and select 'large icons'. Now, click
on 'User accounts' and check if your account is listed as Administrator. If it is not displayed as Admin account, click on the option 'Change user account type' and select 'Administrator' and apply changes. Try these steps and let us know the results. If you
have already tried, please let us know what all troubleshooting steps you have tried so far, so that we can provided you suggestion accordingly.

Hi Fernando,

With regard to your query, we suggest that you try to create a new temporary administrator account and see if the issue persist.

Creating a new administrator account will help us to isolate the issue and to determine if the account itself is causing the issue accessing the control panel.

• Select the Start Windows logo Start button button, then select
  Settings Gear-shaped Settings icon > Accounts
  > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.
• Enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

Let us know the result.
