About this tag
The elevated prompt tag covers content related to running command-line tools with administrator privileges in Windows. Common scenarios include using an elevated PowerShell or Command Prompt to perform system-level tasks such as resetting Metro-style applications like Microsoft Edge or Cortana, and troubleshooting inaccessible OS drives. The tag typically appears in tutorials and troubleshooting guides where standard user permissions are insufficient, requiring a right-click "Run as Administrator" action to open a prompt with elevated rights. This tag is relevant for Windows users seeking to execute commands that modify system files, settings, or applications.
