Missing ‘Manage services on Server’ in SharePoint Central Admin

Applies To:
SharePoint 2010
SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2016

Recently encountered an issue where I was trying to confirm that the relevant services on SharePoint were running on an application server.

Logged onto the Central Admin server and went to the Central Admin site only to find that under System Settings the link for Manage Services on Server was missing.

Solution:

Go to Start -> All Programs -> Internet Explorer -> Right Click on program -> click on Run As Administrator.

A reboot also resolved the problem for me, but that is not always a valid option.
