2. Through the task manager
If you have the Task Manager running, you can open cmd directly from it. To do this, go to the menu File -> Start a new task.
Enter cmd and check the box below Create a task with administrator rights... And then OK.
3. Through the task manager (tricky way)
The third method is very similar to the second, but a little faster and less well-known.
The beginning is the same, that is, in the Task Manager, select File -> Start a new task, but when you click on this item, hold down the key Ctrl... In this case, cmd starts immediately in administrator mode, without further ado.
4. Launch cmd from Windows 10 search

5. Run cmd from the All Applications menu
Open Start, click on All Applications and find the System Tools - Windows item. Usually it is hidden at the very bottom, so scroll with the mouse wheel to the very end.
So, we found the Utilities group, opened the list of programs inside and found the Command Line. Right-click on it, then Advanced, then Run as administrator.
6. Run from the system directory Windows \ System32
You can run the command line directly from its system32 home folder. To do this, go to Explorer / My Computer, find the C drive, look for Windows folder, go there, find the System32 folder, go deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, go into it. In the System32 folder, we are looking for the file cmd.exe... We select it. And then there are two options.
The fastest and simplest: right-click on cmd.exe and select the one we already know Run as administrator.
Another option takes a little more time. When you select a file, the inscription Tools for working with applications appears at the top. Click there with the left mouse button, another menu pops up from the bottom, click on Run as administrator.
7. Run cmd from any folder in Explorer
This option for opening the command line is available from any folder in Windows 10 Explorer. Go to the location you need, go to the File menu -> Open command line -> Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
8. Create an admin shortcut for cmd.exe
For quick access to the admin command line, do the following.
On the desktop on free space right-click, select New -> Shortcut.
Enter cmd or cmd.exe, both will work. Further.
Name the shortcut so that it is immediately clear, for example, cmd.exe (admin). Ready.
The shortcut has been created, but not configured yet. We go into its properties (right-click on the shortcut and select Properties). Click the Advanced button ...
... and tick the Run as administrator box. We save the whole thing and now we can always start the cmd command line with administrator rights by simply launching the shortcut.
But you can speed up the launch even more;)
Right-click on the shortcut and select Pin to taskbar. Or Pin to home screen as an option.
I described here exactly those options that allow you to run the command line with admin privileges. There are also ways to launch, but they are on behalf of a regular user, which does not fit into the topic of this article. For example, via Win + R or hold Shift while right-clicking on the application.
