powershell - Start-Process -WorkingDirectory as administrator does not set location

Question

When I enter the command

Start-Process powershell -WorkingDirectory "D:folder"

it opens new PowerShell window with D:folder location set.

But when I enter the command

Start-Process powershell -WorkingDirectory "D:folder" -Verb RunAs

it opens new PowerShell window with admin rights but with C:Windowssystem32 location set.

How can I open new PowerShell window with admin rights and my own location determined?

Answer 1

I also had the same problem and solved it with this command:

Start-Process powershell.exe -verb runAs -ArgumentList '-NoExit', '-Command', 'cd D:folder'

Once you run the above command, Windows will launch with admin authority and the specified directory.
