This does not work for me on either Windows 10 or Windows 7. When I try to run as Administrator, either by right clicking the BAT file and "Run as Administrator", or using the technique described here the batch file flashes open for a second then closes immediately with no commands or programs in the batch file executing.
I've tried running very simple batch files that just echo a "Hello World" and they too fail in this manner. This is very frustrating. I have, so far, not been able to find a solution. JonathanElkins did you try adding a pause at the end of the batch file? Show 3 more comments. You can use the quotes even if they are not needed, though. The admin account might not be named Administrator — Anders. Anders: No, it might not; I'm assuming the OP can "spot the pattern".
Check again the other answer. It's exactly what most will want. No, this answer is technically incorrect. Running as administrator is not the same as running under a user whose name happens to be Administrator, and the privileges are different. See the other answer. Show 2 more comments.
ShellExecute "cmd. Tested on Windows Sire Sire 3, 4 4 gold badges 35 35 silver badges 70 70 bronze badges. Tested in Windows 7 and works great. But could you explain what it does? I'm not familiar with bat files. It creates a VBScript file with code that elevates you to admin if you're not already , and runs the bat file again, this time as admin. What I Exactly searching for!

It will be closed if no further activity occurs within 3 days of this comment. Ran into this problem myself on some but not all installations of Windows 10 across various versions, including I think and Not sure if the original poster is elevating from an account with Administrator permissions or not, but I'm not and winget only works when I elevate from that account.
I reopened the bug. This might be an external issue as suggested, but we'll keep this open to remind ourselves to take a look. If I can provide someone with more information I understand the frustration regarding a highly desired feature. Anyone else running into this challenge from the perspective of installing packages with the Windows Package Manager might stumble on this issue, and be motivated to show their support as well.
Unfortunately, so much is half-baked the youth will call it exciting ;. Perhaps it would be useful to revise the readme, as this is misleading When running winget in an Administrator Command Prompt, you will not see elevation prompts. I have not seen any compilates outside the official repsiotry so far We have another "discussion" open that relates to what everyone is getting at here. Ultimately for this to be useful for anything outside of user-managed personal machines, it is an absolute requirement for winget to be deployable to the system context i.
Right now we get that using the MSIX delivery mechanism is the newer method and it makes this manageable via the MS Store, but it makes it completely unusable for businesses entirely. My testing thus far with Winget has me hopeful on how useful this tool can be for installing and updating applications by simply updating manifests in our eventual private repository. Right now though, this tooling is entirely run in the user context, therefore completely unusable as it requires every user on a machine to have this installed, and then requires them be granted administrative permissions on the machine to execute the installers defined in the app manifests.
Given today's security landscape and the various breaches in the past 6 months alone, I see many business partners locking things down and controlling administrative access much more tightly, so having this tooling available under the "system" context is going to be critical towards gaining adoption beyond home users and hobbyists.
Here is a link to our other discussion regarding this: User context? The permissions on the WindowsApps directory do not permit it. How are you running your commands as system? Just trying to get context. Are you using the full path when operating as local admin? If not, where is winget getting called from where winget? I'm curious what is in the actual winget directory at that full source path. There is another Microsoft. I think I'm good with what you meant there now - thanks!
I'm a bit stumped. Keep in mind this is only happening when I try to run this 1. Yeah, sounds like something changed. I'm on Win 11 and 1. Are you on a dev branch of Windows? What I find really confusing is the versioning. Select the Create Basic Task. Step 5: Give the name and description of the type of scheduled task.
Click Next, and select when do you want the task to start off — Daily, weekly, monthly etc. Step 6: Select the type of the task, and in the Start, a Program section of Action Centre, enter the batch file path from the browser option. And click on Finish. This is how you can run batch file as administrator on Windows It included the most commonly used method of using a command prompt to run batch file as administrator.

One example scenario where this could be useful is: Suppose you have both a normal user account and an administrator account on a computer and currently you are logged in as normal user account.
One option is to switch user and login as administrator. Instead, you can do the same by simply using runas command. You just need to launch the installer from command prompt using runas command and by providing administrator login id and password.
For example, if you want to open registry editor as administrator of the computer, the command would be as below. After running the above command, you will be asked to enter the password of administrator account. After password validation, registry editor will be opened with the administrator account credentials. I have not re-tested this code on Windows 8. It worked when I used it, some time ago. Perhaps the change to Windows 10 also means this no longer works on Windows 8. I don't know. However, I've only ever used this as cacls.
Perhaps this breaking in Windows 10 as of is because calcs.
