User Account Control dialog missing Yes button
Whenever I need administrator privileges, the UAC dialog that comes up is missing the "Yes" button and only shows a "No" button, so I cannot get to administrator mode. I think this has been the case since I installed the anniversary update.
Apparently a similar problem is common where people find the "Yes" button grayed out, but I did not find anything about the button missing altogether. The proposed solution for when the button is grayed out is to start Windows in safe mode, sign in as administrator and fix things in the command prompt from there. I tried this but it did not work for me. It did not accept my password for the administrator sign-in, which is unsurprising because the only account I have ever set up on this machine is my own user account, no separate administrator account.
How can I get the "Yes" button back?
