i have tried the below way to execute the commands in administrator mode. 'PS>start-process powershell -verb runas $app = Get-AppxPackage -all| Where-Object{$_.Name-like "$ReleaseName"} ' 'PS>start-process powershell -verb runas Remove-AppxPackage $app.PackageFullName ' for the first call, it opens and executes the command successfully and closes the admin powershell instance. for the second call it requires $app information which is not available because it again opens a new PS admin window i can't execute "Get-AppxPackage -all" in normal mode "-all" requires admin mode only ' PS>start-process powershell -verb runas { $app = Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object{$_.Name-like "$ReleaseName"}; Remove-AppxPackage $app.PackageFullName }' tried this way but no luck. can someone suggest me how to execute set of instructions like above in powershell elevated mode? thanks in advance powershell link | improve this question asked  Oct 7 '11 at 0:19 Praveen Jakkaraju 28 5 14% accept rate

The obvious way: Open Powershell console in "elevated mode" -> Right click shortcut / exe and click Run as Administrator. Or in start menu, type Powershell and hit CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER Then run the commands from this. Or you can have the commands in a script (.ps1 file) and invoke that script: start-process powershell -verb runas -argument script.ps1 I would also like to mention that in yout commands, you don't have to store it in $app, you can use something like: Get-AppxPackage -all| Where-Object{$_.Name-like "$ReleaseName"} | Remove-AppxPackage link | improve this answer edited  Oct 7 '11 at 1:07 answered  Oct 7 '11 at 0:35 manojlds 43.2k 4 15 47
