Currently, to run windows terminal in Administration mode I have to find the app > remember to right click on it > select more > and run as administrator.
The problem with this is that I have almost never a reason to not run it in admin mode and its getting frustrating to run some script find out that its not running with elevated privilege's close the program run through the above mentioned flow and start the entire script(s) over.

So far, I have not found a way to run this app by default with admin rights nor do I see anything online to that effect.
