      Firstly, back your registry , have a look at:
      https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows-855140ad-e318-2a13-2829-d428a2ab0692
      Then open start and search for regedit and open it.
      Navigate to:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
      Then go to "System" and look for "EnableLUA" and set value to 0.
      Then restart your PC and see if that solved the problem?

    Do you have any other Anti-Malware software installed?
    Since when this problem started?
