I ran into this problem when working with symlinks on Windows 8.1 and then Windows 10. See Windows 10 symlinks.
The solution is pretty simple and it was tested and works on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
I am trying to run a.BAT script that needs admin privileges, and I need to lose the annoying UAC prompt. I found out how to do that under Win 7, but can't get the same approach to work under Win 10. I have created a task with 'Run with highest privileges' to start my script. Run Batch Files and Powershell Scripts with Administrator Permissions easily Here is something a little different for you. I have two external drives connected to my Microsoft Surface Book 2 15″ computer. Make a batch file in an editor and nameit.bat then create a shortcut to it. Nameit.bat - shortcut. Then right click on Nameit.bat - shortcut -Properties-Shortcut tab - Advanced and click Run as administrator. Execute it from the shortcut. Auto Elevate DOS Batch File to Run As Administrator in Windows 10 The provided code will create a special VBS file which will restart it if it is not running as Administrator. So, if you launch it with limited permissions, you will get a UAC prompt requesting you to elevate privileges before it runs its commands!
Note that scripts like this will eventually find their way somewhere into my git repository: https://github.com/spiralofhope/shell-random/tree/master

Run a batch file only if administrator ∞
Run a batch file only if not administrator ∞
An example of use can be found on my github:
Put this code more-or-less at the beginning of your batch file:
- On Windows 10, as of 2016-01-31 this worked, but as of 2016-02-11 this no longer works.
- I have not re-tested this code on Windows 8. It worked when I used it, some time ago.
- Perhaps the change to Windows 10 also means this no longer works on Windows 8. I don't know.
- I am told that
cacls.exe
is is deprecated in Windows 7 and newer, and changingcalcs
toicalcs
works.- However, I've only ever used this as
cacls.exe
. - Perhaps this breaking in Windows 10 as of 2016-02-11 is because
calcs.exe
was removed.
