Can't run command prompt “Run as Admin”

I'm not able to open an elevated command prompt in Windows 7 Ultimate. Previously I was able to open such a command prompt in one of the following ways:
- Start > type "cmd" then hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter
- Start > type "cmd" then right click "cmd" and select Run as Administrator.
However when I try this now I only get a normal command prompt without administrator rights.
Any ideas what could be wrong, and how I could fix it?

Try this on a normal command prompt:
powershell -command "start-process cmd -verb runas"
If the command still end up opening a normal command prompt, update your PC using Windows Update, then try again.
