Right click the run command you see in programs-accessories, and then choose
" run as administrator".

Correction, right click the " command prompt" you see in
programs-accessories, then choose " run as administrator".

Sorry, not enough coffee this morning I guess.

After you have typed 'cmd' in the search box the command prompt should
appear at the top of the search list on the search menu. Right click on the
'cmd.exe' file and, from the drop down menu, click on 'run as
administrator'. Command prompt will now open in elevated mode.

Command Prompt - type CMD into Search Box - hit enter

Elevated command - type cmd into the Search box on the Start menu

right-click the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the

Start menu - select Run as administrator

Launch an elevated command prompt, simply press the

Win key; type cmd; press Ctrl+Shift+Enter; and then hit Alt+C to confirm the
elevation prompt.

That is normal for the command prompt. Once it opens, you then need to type
a command.

What is it that you are trying to do with the command prompt?
