How to open an elevated cmd using command line for Windows?

I ran into the same problem and the only way I was able to open the CMD as administrator from CMD was doing the following:

  1. Open CMD
  2. Write powershell -Command "Start-Process cmd -Verb RunAs" and press Enter
  3. A pop-up window will appear asking to open a CMD as administrator
