![]() So is there a way for me to modify either the commands I tried above, or change some access setting that would make this work?įor my specific instance, I simply want to make it simpler to pop open an admin terminal, I don't need a way to elevate arbitrary commands, then I will happily use the commands I have already shown here.Ĭurrently you cannot open an elevated wt.exe session from the command line without workarounds. I'm assuming this has something to do with where the executable is located, within my profile, but if I right-click the Windows Terminal icon I have on my task bar and choose to run it as administrator, it opens up just fine. ![]() Start-Process: This command cannot be run due to the error: The file cannot be accessed by the system. Start-Process -Verb RunAs "C:\Users\lasse\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe" Start-Process -Verb RunAs (Get-Command wt) So I tried these commands: Start-Process -Verb RunAs wt However, while I'm using Powershell, I'm doing it inside Windows Terminal, the new terminal application for Windows 10, and I would like to open a new instance of Windows Terminal with elevated privileges, not just a Powershell window. Īnd this works, it opens up a new Powershell window with elevated privileges, after having gone through a UAC block to verify access. There are plenty of questions here which asks how to elevate priviliges from powershell, and almost all of them recommend this command: Start-Process -Verb RunAs powershell.exe.
