Pop Calc Example

This code will attempt to run “calculator.exe” as an administrator. If the current user does not have administrative privileges, the code will prompt for elevated permissions using the “runas” option in the ShellExecuteW function. If the user has administrative privileges, the code will directly run the command using the subprocess.call() function.

Note: The code will only work on Windows systems and the exact behavior may vary based on the specific Windows version and user privileges.

import subprocess
import ctypes

def is_admin():
    try:
        return ctypes.windll.shell32.IsUserAnAdmin()
    except:
        return False

def run_as_admin(command):
    if is_admin():
        subprocess.call(command)
    else:
        ctypes.windll.shell32.ShellExecuteW(None, "runas", "cmd.exe", "/c " + command, None, 1)

run_as_admin("start calculator.exe")
