elevated prompt

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.

This tag is relevant for Windows users seeking to execute commands that modify system files, settings, or applications.
