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.

I can’t download power run. Its all bs advertising for other crap.
Hi ,Write the commands in a script file such as vbs, bat and save them.
You can then run this script file directly with PowerRun.
A sample bat file;
@echo off
Start notepad.exe
Start mspaint.exe
Start regedit.exe /S D:\example.reg
Exit
Hello, this is a question, could you make it so that you can apply many files at the same time via powerrun for example I have 10 .reg files I need to apply to see everything and so that they all start and I just accepted that I accept the changes and I you have to see 1 at a time and it’s a little inconvenient to run
It would be great if the defender control application was updated so that it could disable some of the new defender features in Windows 11 and we could use it comfortably. Thank you very much for your efforts.
The release version does not support this. If we had such support, the program would receive many false virus warnings.
You can add cmd to the PowerRun list and create a shortcut via powerrun to a place where you can access it quickly, such as the desktop.
Thank you very much! This version looks alot nicer! Is it possible to inject powerrun into every cmd process by default, so this way cmd always has system privleges? Something like clink would be nice.
Dark mode (theme) please!
Thank you peter.
It is a very useful program. I added the Explorer++ program to the list and ran it. I can now delete files/folders that I normally cannot delete. Be careful when performing operations such as deleting important files to avoid damaging the system.
OK, I got it 🙂
PowerRun saves every SecurityCode generated.
Nice. Thanks.
So, PowerRun is no longer ‘portable’ ?
I multi-boot on the same PC (Win10 & Win 11 on separate partitions). I have PowerRun on another partition, Will the SecurityCode in the INI file be the same for both Windows? Is the SecurityCode calculated by hardware, software or both?
Hi , In previous versions of PowerRun, some malware was executed with elevated privileges using PowerRun parameters.
Because of this, Some antiviruses gave false warnings for Powerrun on Virustotal. To prevent this, we have added restrictions. For example, to run commands using the PowerRun command line, you must click File -> Allow command line once in the PowerRun window.
Thanks for the /WAIT parameter.
Please explain "Cmd parameters usage has been restricted. (against harmful Apps)"
Hi, PowerRun does not include wait feature. If you are using a script like Bat, you can wait for a while with commands like timeout after PowerRun.
We have noted down your suggestion.
If I run a command using PowerRun, does PowerRun wait until the command has executed ?
If not, please add a /nowait argument.
In a script if I delete a file using PowerRun, and then check if it exists, I get exists.
BUT
If I delete a file using PowerRun, sleep for a second, and then check if it exists I get does not exist.
Hi, You can add the applications you want to run with high privileges to the PowerRun list, then add a shortcut to your desktop and use it.
