Windows Form C# run a command with admin rights without typing credentials

Question

Hello everyone,

So I'm an IT admin and some users have been complaining about their computer running slower and slower each time : turns out it comes from the "Quick Start" feature (I think it's exclusive to Lenovo) that keeps the processor up when you want to turn it down.

I figured out you can use "powercfg /h off" as an admin to disable this option (or "Powercfg /h on" to turn it on)

So I wanted to make a Windows Form program with two buttons to enable/disable the Quick start, but you need to be an admin to run this command.

That's why I wanted to know if there is a way to do this program so the users can choose if they want to disable or not the Quick Restart without me typing the admin credentials each time.

Thank you!

You could add a Manifest file with

"requireAdministrator"

instead of

"asInvoker"
