Windows 10: Running a Command script with Run As despite logged on as Admin?

I have two accounts. One being Admin and one being Standard.

How come some program installers or command scripts need for the Run As Admin even if I am logged on as my Admin account?

I thought that being logged on as a Standard account, then there would be always the case to Run As Admin.

But like mentioned, I signed in as the Admin account and some command script gave an error that I need to run it as elevated rights.

Run PowerShell Script As An Administrator


Of course, there is always the elevating shortcut method. This requires one extra step compared to setting up such a shortcut for a batch file.

1 Create a shortcut to your PS1 file [by, for example, dragging it with the Alt key pressed]
2 Right click on the shortcut & select Properties
2.1 At the start of the target field, type in powershell.exe then a space to separate it from the script's path-name
2.2 Click on the Advanced button & set the Run as Admin checkbox.
2.3 OK, OK
{you will notice the shortcut's icon change when you do this}

You can now double-click on the shortcut instead of your original script and it will run as Admin [after the normal Admin challenge].

The extra step compared to doing this for batch files is 2.1. Batch files can be set to run as Admin without having to job the Target field.
