UAC locks some administrators

A solution in another thread stated:
"Try this:

Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following
command:

winmgmt /verifyrepository

If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", run this command:

winmgmt /salvagerepository

The first time you run this it will fail. (It will issue stop commands to
the services causing it to fail. It might take a couple minutes for the
services to shut down). Run the command again. You actually may have to
run it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its own.

Reboot your system.

So I did so, however, it did not work for me unlike for the others.

Without understanding more of the problem and seeing any error messages I
don't have any reason to believe this is WMI related at all. I would be more
inclined to say it has to do with some third-party software on the system.

No. Providing such a feature would be instantly used by malware.
