The Windows Command Prompt is an application that allows you to execute programs, change settings, and access files by typing commands into the window. By default, when opening the Windows command line in Windows, you will not have full rights and not all commands work. Some commands and programs require an elevated mode to run properly and generate an error if they do not have the proper rights.
If you don’t know if a command requires running an elevated Command Prompt, it will tell you with an error message after you run this command. Generally the message informs you that you need to run Command Prompt as administrator in order to use the utility or perform the command.
When you try to perform some tasks with Command Prompt, it requires you to open an elevated Command Prompt which has administrator level privileges. Opening an elevated Command Prompt via keyboard shortcut will take most of you under a minute from start to finish.
Open Admin Command Prompt from the Run Box
1- Hold down the Windows Key and Press R on your keyboard.
2- The run dialog box will open. Type cmd and Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
3- Type “cmd” and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open an administrator Command Prompt.
That’s all. Now your elevated privileges program is open, and you did all of it with just the keyboard.
