Windows 10: I cannot run Windows PowerShell in Admin mode using Windows Key + X

Hi,


Need to run Windows PowerShell in Admin mode, but I cannot select it from the Windows Key + X.


Can I create a short cut on my desktop and select run in Admin Mode, (Like I did with the Command Prompt? if so does anyone know the .exe name?)


How can I do this?


Thank you,

Running Powershell as admin

Hi. I tried this and everything was denied. Did not reboot to try it yet, but is this normal?

I already did all the other suggested fixes - ran disc services, powershell and command promp in admin mode and ran the suggested fixes, but nothing works for me. I'll re-boot and try again, then read the rest of this thread.

 

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Hello Sean,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 family.

From the description of the issue, I understand that you are facing issues with several functionalities in Windows 10.

Now, please follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1:

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
  
• 
  In Command prompt type
  sfc/scannow and press enter.
  

• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps to employ the DISM command lines:

• 
  Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
  
• 
  In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• 
  Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
  

Method 2:

If issue persist, kindly follow the below given steps and check if it helps:

Run these commands:

• 
  Press Windows key and type Powershell
  in search, right click on it and Open as administrator .
  
• 
  Type the following command in Powershell and hit enter:
  
  Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
