Command Prompt is a command-line program on Windows that utilizes commands to control device functions instead of a clear user interface. These commands often directly impact the system and require administrator privileges. Command Prompt can operate in two modes: Regular or System Administrator. To use it with system privileges, besides the usual startup method, you can right-click on CMD and select Run as administrator.
Even if you log in to a Windows user account without Admin rights, you can still employ the above method to initiate Command Prompt with system administrator privileges. Due to these reasons, running CMD with Admin rights is incredibly essential for individuals who frequently interact with this command-line interface.
