RUNAS ERROR and Unable to run 740: The requested operation requires elevation

If you get this message while running a command with an administrator account AND in an elevated command prompt try adding “cmd /c” in front of it.

What does cmd /c do?

/C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates

This will correctly trigger User Account Control (UAC).

For example, the command

mmc.exe

with the extra prefix becomes

cmd /c mmc.exe
