    Running msc files in Admin ?


    If I want to run Group Policy editor in administration mode, what command must be used before gpedit.msc so the group policy editor runs in Administrator mode ?

    .msc files does not open in windows 10

    i have windows 10 and my problem with .msc files

    when i try to open any of .msc files like those in "Administrative Tools"...no one opens it keeps saying :

    "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."

    even if I'm an admin...and i tried sfc /scannow...it doesn't work

    do any one have another solution ?

    Ztruker, that seems very valid.

    You can also find it in here "C:\Windows\System32\gpedit.msc" with the file explorer, right-click and choose run as admin. But beware when playing with this, since I suppose you're new to Windows !

    If you're looking for an easy way to get an elevated command line, right-click on the start menu icon, you will get a menu with an appropriate option.

    EDIT : Sorry I read too quickly, you want to know what to put before gpedit to have it run as an admin. Well, to my knowledge there's no secure way to do this. You could use the runas command, but it asks for the password outside User Account Control, which is bad. However, you could modify a copy of the Microsoft Management Console executable's manifest, changing its requested execution level from asHighest to asAdmin. This can be done with the CFF Explorer utility, part of the Explorer suite freely available at ntcore.com.

    Then type the following on the command line :

    yourmmc gpedit.msc

    You will then get an elevation prompt. But considering you'll get a UAC prompt anyway, I suppose the solution in my previous post remains better !
