SharePoint: Missing “Manage services on server” in Central Administration

Issue

I was browsing to Central Administration site and on SharePoint 2013 but the “Manage services on server” menu option was completely missing even though I’m a Farm Administrator.

Fix

This menu option will only show up if IE is running in Administrator mode.   Right click on the IE icon  and choose “Run as Administrator”.
