Open Powershell as Admin on Right-Click

I described how to set a context menu option to open a Powershell console on right click earlier.

To open Powershell as admin on right click, we can add a command to be executed on start to our registry entry like so

$stpath = pwd; Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList \"-NoExit\", \"-Command cd $stpath\" -verb RunAs

So our Command in the registry entry will look like the following

"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -windowstyle hidden -Command $stpath = pwd; Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList \"-NoExit\", \"-Command cd $stpath\" -verb RunAs

The downside of this approach is that first a normal Powershell window is opened, which opens a new Powershell window as admin if the user has the priviledges, and then the original Powershell window closes in the background.

This results in a flicker when Powershell is run as admin. 😢

Run Powershell as Admin on right click

If you find a flickerless approach to doing this, please leave a comment on this gist. Thanks!

Add Open Powershell here to context menu

To add it to the Windows right click context menu, perform the following steps:

  • Open regedit from the run menu Win + R.

  • Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell create a key called Powershell.

  • Get the Powershell icon location

  • Now add a string value to this key called Icon with a path to the desired icon %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe.

  • Create a new key called Command under Powershell.

  • Change the default value to the path where your powershell.exe is, like %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe.
