You can start an elevated command prompt with hstart /runas cmd or hstart64 /runas cmd. But the fastest way (as noted in a comment for the question) is still to press windows, type cmd and press รขโ‚ฌยฆ On my computer, i have two admin accounts.

Runas /user:testadmin cmd. exe Is there any other way to run cmd. exe with admin privileges? Yes, restart your computer in safe mode and log in as the administrator user, he normally only shows up when you are logging in to safe mode.
