    Elevated Command Prompt

    Hi Tommy,

    A command prompt is an entry point for typing computer commands in the Command Prompt window. By typing commands in an elevated command prompt, you can perform tasks that require administrator rights on your computer without using the Windows graphical interface.
    You may open an elevated Command Prompt by following the steps below.

    1. Open the Start menu, and type cmd to open the search box.

    2. When Command Prompt shows up in the search results, right click or press and hold on it, then click/tap on
    Run as administrator.

    Feel free to post your query should you need assistance.

    The idiocy of the elevated command prompt

    Things I can't do at an "unelevated" command prompt:

    chkdsk

    ipconfig (flushdns or release & renew)

    Things I CAN do without an "elevated" command prompt. Even on a server:

    "shutdown -f -t 1"

    diskpart

    This is not a complete list, just an off the top of my head. It seems like if a command could help fix something easily it's locked down. If a command could potentially cause mayhem and destruction it's wide open.

    My computer can't run an elevated command prompt because of an error

    Elevated Command Prompt failure

    If that's safe mode, it's not like last time I used it. But there was an option for opening an elevated command prompt, which I used to run SFC /scannow, and got an error message. Good news is that I can now get an elevated command prompt as normal, and
    I'm trying scannow again... no integrity violations... and the DISM... restore operation completed successfully.

    Thanks! (now to check on my other issues)
