You have to already be in an administrator Command Prompt to run elevated commands or run a batch script as administrator manually. Microsoft has never included a simple tool to trigger a UAC elevation from the command line. If the non-elevated command prompt is trying to do something such as creating a file or deleting a file from the root of the C drive which it doesn’t have rights for, Windows will simply deny the action. Some applications like the Command Prompt can run with or without the UAC elevation with the difference in the permissions it receives. For instance, when you try to install Google Chrome or 7-Zip, UAC asks for permission because it’s trying to install in the Program Files folder. Some folders like Program Files, Windows, and the root of C don’t automatically grant write permissions to the user in question. Most Windows users would have experienced the User Account Control dialog asking the user to allow a program to make changes to their computer.
