No worries - that's a wacky one that you'd have to know existed to be able to find it. Heck I knew it existed and still took me 10 minutes to find it 😛

😂😂.
Are there any alternative solutions? The strange thing is that I have other computers just like it and it works as expected, same version all the same!

excuse me what 👀

The "default terminal" functionality definitely has never worked for elevated commandline applications. On Windows 11 the Win+X menu has "Terminal (Admin)" in it, which doesn't use the default terminal feature. Maybe that's what you've seen?

See video

What I noticed in the video is that both options always open as administrator
I'm trying to understand what difference there is that could be generating this behavior

Win10 Pro same version 10.0.19045.3393

wat

Are you by any chance running with UAC entirely disabled?

reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLua should be able to tell us - 0 means UAC is disabled, anything else and it should be on.

That's right, it seems that whoever maintains the system used on this server has deactivated it, and activating it won't work again!
