Windows 10: Start cmd as admin

I run Windows 10 Pro on a Dell laptop. Currently, I have PowerShell as the default in Terminal. I need to run cmd as admin; how do I do that?

admin password?

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

Cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode

I am using win 10 pro. My initial problem is I cannot display list of wifi networks. I cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode. I've used all the trouble shooting steps on this site and nothing works. Short of throwing this PC out the window is there anything
else I can try?

 

Right Click on Start menu - Admin Cmd, Task Mgr and others wont open.

Hi.MegaHertz Had a look through the suggestions in the link you suggested, did not find any notifications in my Bitdefender AV. However I did find one oddity. On my left click Start menu>Windows System>Command Prompt was a normal dos box and going More>Run as admin did not function. Using the Shortcut properties as on the screenshot below and going advanced> tick run as admin the left click start menu> Windows System>Command Prompt now shows as an Admin Command Prompt. But going More>Run as admin still does not function. In short the’ normal’ Command Prompt is now an ‘Admin’ version. Many files on the right click Start menu still do not open, only those under the ‘Settings’ Program open.

Did wonder if this could be a problem, seems a little restricted. But I have no idea at all, probably fine!

Still reading up on adding a new user.
