How do I fix the "the requested operation requires elevation" problem?

So I got on to my computer  and was confused as to why I could not open any programs that required Administrator access despite being the only account on the computer and it working the night before. I can not even open the command prompt as it just says, "the requested operation requires elevation". All the fixes i saw online I was unable to do as I can not open any files that need to be run as Administrator. Please help me as I have no clue as to how to fix this.
