How can i run code in an elevated cmd using bat?

Question

im trying to get a stubborn game to close whenever it freezes. i need an elevated cmd to do so and ive managed to open one using bat;

powershell -Command "Start-Process 'cmd.exe' -Verb runAs"

i then need to run

taskkill /f /pid game.exe

inside of this elevated cmd. any ideas on how to do that?

Have you looked at any of the help/usage for the `Start-Process` cmdlet? _`-ArgumentList`_ — Compo, Mar 27 '18 at 22:43

If you want to run a command inside the elevated cmd, add -ArgumentList: "/c" tells cmd.exe to run the given command

powershell -Command "Start-Process 'cmd.exe' -ArgumentList @('/c taskkill /f /pid game.exe') -Verb runAs"
