Then hit Win+Ctrl+Shift+1 to open it as admin. Pin Windows Terminal as the first item on the task bar. Then I will happily use the commands I have already shown here. Workarounds include using gsudo, Using Task Scheduler (I tested this one and it works but you need to use the full path to wt.exe and you can skip the shortcut creation step) OR if you are ok with a keyboard shortcut, the simplest way using a keyboard shortcut to run Windows Terminal as Admin from the taskbar.įor my specific instance, I simply want to make it simpler to pop openĪn admin terminal, I don't need a way to elevate arbitrary commands, So is there a way for me to modify either the commands I tried above, or change some access setting that would make this work?įor my specific instance, I simply want to make it simpler to pop open an admin terminal, I don't need a way to elevate arbitrary commands, then I will happily use the commands I have already shown here.Ĭurrently you cannot open an elevated wt.exe session from the command line without workarounds.

Start-Process: This command cannot be run due to the error: The file cannot be accessed by the system. Start-Process -Verb RunAs "C:\Users\lasse\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe" Start-Process -Verb RunAs (Get-Command wt) So I tried these commands: Start-Process -Verb RunAs wt However, while I'm using Powershell, I'm doing it inside Windows Terminal, the new terminal application for Windows 10, and I would like to open a new instance of Windows Terminal with elevated privileges, not just a Powershell window.
