RUNAS - Running Control Panel items like AppWiz.cpl as local administrator when logged on as standard User

Hi,

For remote support is there a way to run Control Panel items like AppWiz.cpl as an administrator, for example you remote onto a Windows 10 22H2 computer which is logged on as a non-administrator, you need to uninstall an application , rather than switch User run the AppWiz.cpl as an Administrator.

Right clicking and "Rus As Another User" opens but if you try and uninstall you receive the error "You Must Be logged in as an Administrator.."

Creating a batch file with : runas /user:domian\admin.user "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL appwiz.cpl" - same issue

I have also tried Powershell and VBscript , same issue

Is it not possible ?

Cheers

A

    Hi, I'm Elise, a fellow user like yourself and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    Unfortunately it is just one of those items that is not possible, you do need to switch user for this.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,

    Elise
