    running DOS as ADMIN


    I would like to run a command (schtasks) that requires ADMIN privileges. I added schtasks to a bat file (along with my other DOS commands that do not require ADMIN priviliges), right-clicked its shortcut and chose the
    RUN AS ADMIN option. A DOS screen appeared for a milisecond and then vanished so I have no idea what the problem is (since without running as ADMIN the DOS screen remains for me to take further action).

    I can run other programs as ADMIN so why can't I run this one? For example, if I were to open a DOS window as ADMIN and then manually type in the schtasks command there would be no problem.

    Thanks in advance to all who reply.
    Dan

    :)

  3. OSK popping up when software Run As Admin

    Hi,

    We are sorry that the issue still persists.

    I suggest you to check if the issue persists in the Built-in Administrator account
    (hidden administrator account). To enable the account, follow the steps below:

    • Right Click on Start and select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.
    • Accept the UAC prompt if required.
    • Type “net user administrator /active:yes” (without quotes).

    Once you have enabled the account, you will see it listed in the user accounts control panel applet. Login to the account and check for status.

    To disable the built-in Administrator account, follow the steps provided above and in step 3 type the command line provided below:

    “net user administrator /active:yes” (without quotes).

    Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
