Create taskbar shortcut to launch PowerShell as Administrator
2
I'm using Windows 10 and whenever I run PowerShell, I almost exclusively need to run it in Administrator mode, however the taskbar shortcut only seems to enable this by right-clicking on the icon and selecting Run as Administrator.
Is there a way to make the shortcut itself simply run as Administrator?

While it's not what you've requested, you could switch Command Prompt to PowerShell in "Taskbar Properties" (right-click on the taskbar) and then use [Win+X, A] key sequence to run PowerShell as admin (the A key may depend on locale).

Is the same possible for any other app? When I'm right-clicking my VS2017 taskbar shortcut, there is noPropertiesoption. I'm using Win 10 1809 17763.194.
