UAC Settings gone

[Oreo]

UAC randomly reenabled out of nowhere, and no matter how i try and access UAC settings they don't come up. I click "Change UAC settings" a new blank window comes up, and it then disappears.

Help would be appreciated as UAC drives me mad..

Try a System Restore; if that doesn't work, then try running sfc /scannow from command prompt.

Recently do a windows update.

Try a System Restore; if that doesn't work, then try running sfc /scannow from command prompt.

I'll have to back up a few things first as i've downloaded and installed quite a few things since UAC stopped working. But i'll give it a try, thanks.

System restore doesn't delete personal files; only uninstalls updates/software/etc.

Okay.

Well, apparently system restore is disabled.. sigh.

Disabled as in you can't run it? Or disabled as in you didn't have it turned on and there's no restore points available?

If it's disabled completely, you may have an infection...
