How to add administrator privilege in a batch file?

Question

while running certain command in windows powershell, it returned with a message " Access denied. Option -c requires administrative privileges.", so in linux (ubuntu) we use 'sudo' right, but how should I do it in windows.

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Feb 05 '22 at 14:06

This code will require admin rights if the batch is not started as admin:

net session >nul 2>&1 || (powershell start -verb runas '"%~0"' &exit /b)

or just `runas /user:an_admin_user powershell` – spikey_richie Feb 05 '22 at 21:04
