Good morning,
I'm asking how to run a PowerShell command with admin privileges in .Bat batch script.
The command that interests me is the one related to removing applications in Windows 11.

Example: Winget uninstall Microsoft.OutlookForWindows_8wekyb3d8bbwe

There seems to be some confusion on the syntax as well as the difference between a bat,cmd script and a powershell script.


Command prompt:

winget uninstall "<PackageName>" ie:
Code: 
winget uninstall "Microsoft.OutlookForWindows"

In Powershell:

Uninstall-Package -Name <PackageName>
To get the package list in Powershell:

Code: 
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Format-Table DisplayName, PackageName

I want to run the .bat command to open Powershell as an administrator and automatically delete apps.

Sorry if I'm not being clear, as I'm just starting.

Below command when place beginning of the batch script will elevate batch script and run it as admin.

Code: 
(Net session >nul 2>&1)||(PowerShell start """%~0""" -verb RunAs & Exit /B)

Thanks for the quick response, but it's not working.

.Bat does not open

All that aside.... You can definitely run a Powershell command in a Batch File (.bat) (not called a script)

And if you want the batch file to "Run As Administrator", then run it from a shortcut, and in the Properties of the shortcut, specify that you want it to "Run As Administrator". Simple.

I use a lot of batch files, and I run them all as "Administrator", even the ones that really don't require it.

I have several Powershell commands in my "Cleanup.bat" batch file program, as well as standard DOS Batch Commands, and I run it "As Administrator", from a desktop shortcut, as I said above.

If you want to just run a batch file without a shortcut, then Right Click on the batch file and from the context menu, click on, "Run As Administrator". Again, very Simple.

Good Luck,
TM :cool:

I was able to open Powershell as administrator in .bat, but it doesn't execute the command.

Example:
powershell start-process powershell -verb runas

Winget uninstall Microsoft.OutlookForWindows_8wekyb3d8bbwe;

Winget is not only PowerShell command you can executed without invoking PowerShell.

The command is valid but this will return package unfound.

Take a look at the following batch file. It self-elevates (i.e. UAC prompt) and then runs the PowerShell code.

Just replace the PowerShell code with the code you want to run.

Right click the .bat file and select "run as administrator".


Or right-click on the .bat file, and select "create shortcut".

Then you right-click on the new shortcut, and go to "properties-> shortcut-> advanced", and there select "run as administrator".

This way, the shortcut will always run with Administrator privileges.

You can rename the shortcut as you wish.
