How to run PowerShell as an administrator in Win10.

WindowsPowerShell is a command line shell designed for system administrators and used in Windows operating systems.

#How to run PowerShell as an administrator in Win10.

Method 1: Use the Windows 10 Start Menu context menu.

When you right-click on the Windows 10 Start menu, a context menu appears, allowing you to quickly launch commonly used management programs.

The context menu contains an option called WindowsPowerShell(Admin) as shown below.

To launch the upgrade PowerShell prompt, click the Windows PowerShell (Administrator) option.

Windows 10 will now display a UAC prompt asking you if you have permission to grant program improvements. Click Yes at this prompt.

The PowerShell prompt will now open. Since the starting directory will be C:\Windows\System32, the window title will be Administrator: WindowsPowerShell.

Once you are done with the prompt, you can click the X or type exit and press Enter to close it.
