I am Administrator, but it still needs Administrator's permission to handle files

Question

Windows Server 2016, the local security policy's
【User Account Control: run all administrator accounts in administrator approval mode】 already been disabled,
【Account: Administrator account status】 already been enabled.
The user is in the Administrator Group, it also has the Administrator's authority.
but it still needs Administrator's permission to handle files and open the CMD (I want the window title has the Administrator: .)
How to skip the needing permission step and open administrator CMD without another operation?

Hi @MZ ,

this is not dependet on whether or not you are an Admin on the system, it is just how the behavior is by design - cmd (and also other programs) start by default in a non-admin mode, but can also be started as an Admministrator. I personaly always use the "Ctril + Shift + Enter" to start it directly as an admin, but this is not what you are looking for. I think this will help you achieve your goal:

The article shows different methods of achieving this, but the most suitable would be Method 2 - settings up the "RUNASADMIN" key.

I hope I could help you out!
