• Now you will see the option to "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off"

• Then on the following screen uncheck the box that says"Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" and click OK

• Then restart your computer

3. let go of the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
