How to use : After downloading, extract PowerRun to your desired location, then run it. You can drag and drop any files on it for example ; program files , Program files shortcuts , script files , text files usw. to run a listed file in TrustedInstaller/SYSTEM privileges you can select it and use run button or right click on it and choose “Run File” feature , the file will run with Highest privileges , you can check the Task manager’s details tab to verify that the selected file running under SYSTEM Privileges.
If you’re trying to edit or delete keys from the registry , you might find that some keys won’t let you do anything with them and you’ll get an error such as “Cannot delete xxxxx: Error while deleting key“. These keys are usually protected to stop accidental deletion , You could also be the administrator on the computer, but still can’t manipulate the required key.
Even though the administrator account has a great deal of control, there are other hidden accounts and levels on the system which have even greater access and therefore standard administrator privileges are not enough. To solve this problem, you have to force the registry to allow the logged on user full control of the subkeys in such cases PoweRun can help you : use the “Launch Registry Editor” button.
Copy desired registry key and click “Open” button , PowerRun will open regedit (with Highest Privileges) and jump to the key Automatically. If you want to add any parameter to listed script or program rigt click on it and use “Edit Item” or just use wrench Button.
For automation purpose PowerRun allows you to create a vbs or bat file with necessary parameters in it , to use this feature :
1. Select the Program.
2. And use Edit – Create bat/Vbs File feature.
Don’t forget to run the script in the same folder with PowerRun.exe or PowerRun_x64.exe.

Hello and thank you for our software 🙂 this software is indispensable. I encounter a recalcitrant folder and I still have access denied when I want to delete it even in (System or trustedInstaller) with the command del /S /Q "Windows Defender"
Great program! Is there a way to automate a certain program to run with TI by default? For example cmd and Lockhunter. The only way I know, is to run every exe with power run but that launches every program with TI and I don’t want that. So maybe there is a way to limit it to certain programs, so for example, when cmd or regedit is called in any form, in runs with TI privilieges with power run. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I can use it because I have removed the "SecLogon" service that seem needed for this tool.
Is there a possible hack?
hello. I’m trying to automate use of your tools that requires trustedinstaller privileges to update a registry key. it works perfectly from the command line, but I doing the with Ansible automation with uses ‘winrm’ to communicate to the Windows VM. the command runs, gets an rc0 but does not actually update the registry. is there any logging or verbose output that I can use to diagnose. ansible runs many powershell, and regedits against this VM, all as localadmin or occassionally as SYSTEM. they wall work flawlessly. just not having any luck with PowerRun via winrm.
thanks.
Hi Peter we have noted down your request , thanks for your comment.
great tool!
but – i’m old and it would be great if i could change font size.
Is there a way?
Thank you
This is an amazingly useful tool. No more do I need to change ownership to Administrators and then back again. Funny how simple utilities can make such a difference…kudos for making such a useful utility
Thank you Robert Noted it down
thanks for the great little tools 🙂 if you need another idea, how about an URL expander. could be useful if one don’t trust a shortened one.
I used that code in Powershell to expand the link to firefox_latest:
function Expand-Uri {
param (
[string] $ShortUri
)
$WebClientObject = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$WebRequest = [System.Net.WebRequest]::create($ShortUri)
$WebResponse = $WebRequest.GetResponse()
$ActualDownloadURL = $WebResponse.ResponseUri.AbsoluteUri
$WebResponse.Close()
return $ActualDownloadURL
}

NEED HELP: I’ve tried downloading power run three times but it’s not happening. I have win 7/32&64 bit. I can’t figure out why it’s not taking. NOTE: I’m not a tech so please please keep the responses ezpz
for computer software logic, we can’t create sofware in a day, isn’t it ? why they deamon makes software unfunction, it means die ?
What is the problem ?
Problem with Windows 10 Update
please check if Trend Micro working on background or not
Nice, but doesn’t work for TrendMicro-registry keys: Even if I start powerrun_x64.exe with TrustedInstaller privileges, I can’t edit the HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc.\NoPwdProtect key: "Cannot edit NoPwdProtect: Error writing the value’s new contents".
-PowerRun is definitely a fascinating program; but how the TrendMicro-program is able to trick out PowerRun is also fascinating.. 🙂
-Any ideas here?
