    How do I open a Command Prompt as Administrator in one click?


    Hi.

    I think that I was able to do this before and now I can't.

    What I would like to do is twofold -

    1) Have a desktop shortcut for the Command Prompt on the desktop to open as Administrator.

    2) Be able to use Windows+X and have the capability to open a normal Command Prompt and also a pick to open as Administrator.
    PowerShell has this capability, but not the Command Prompt.

    I found this older article, but to no avail:

    How to Open the Command Prompt as Administrator in Windows 8 or 10

    Thanks, folks.

    :)

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    I am repairing a laptop for a friend and I need to access windows in safe mode and the owner has forgotten the password to the main user. I tried logging on with the administrator profile in safe mode but it is not showing up so I was going to use command prompt in safe mode with command prompt but command prompt will not open when I boot that option. Does anyone have any hints for me to figure this out?
