Is it possible to run powershell.exe with startup parameters? Specifically I am looking to create a Windows Terminal profile which will launch a Windows Powershell session as a different user (my admin account). Here is a portion of my profile. Ideally, I am looking to modify the commandline argument but I am open to alternative workarounds.

Partial answer I know, but with respect to the specific requirement:

launch a Windows Powershell session as a different user

You can achieve this with

Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential “domain\username” -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList “Start-Process powershell.exe -Verb runAs”

  • YES YES.. but if you want to spawn as a specific user, I think you need "RunAsUser" instead of RunAs. I also found some neat tricks I didn't know under [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28989750/running-powershell-as-another-user-and-launching-a-script) post. – Señor CMasMas Jan 17 '20 at 15:56
  • Not quite. I cannot use `Start-Process` from within my profile. This [link](https://superuser.com/questions/747684/how-can-i-run-an-application-with-arguments-from-windows-explorer) is similar to how I would call it from a profile. – Jake Geers Jan 20 '20 at 13:17
