This post will show you how to open an elevated PowerShell prompt window, and run it as an Administrator, with elevated privileges in Windows 11/10.

To launch an elevated PowerShell prompt, click on the 'Windows PowerShell (Admin)' option. Windows 10 will now display a UAC prompt asking if you want to give the program elevated permissions.

Alternatively, you can use the Taskbar search box to find out Windows Terminal, right-click on it and select the Run as administrator option. As usual, click the Yes option.

It already replaces Windows PowerShell in the Quick Links (WinX) menu (the right-click menu on the Start menu button) there, and today we will show you how to do this in Windows 10 too.

Windows PowerShell is a newer program that's similar to Command Prompt. And in some versions of Windows 10, it replaces Command Prompt in the menus you'd usually use to open it.
