Some commands, like the sfc command and the manage-bde command, can only be executed from within an elevated Command Prompt in Windows 8. An elevated Command Prompt simply means running the Command Prompt program with administrator privileges.
Swipe up to open the Apps screen. If you're using a keyboard, click the arrow icon at the bottom of the screen to open Apps.
On the Apps screen, locate the Windows System heading. You may need to swipe or scroll to the right depending on the size of your screen.
Press and hold, or right-click, on Command Prompt.
Press or click on Run as administrator from the menu that appears at the bottom of the screen.
Press or click on Yes if you're prompted with a User Account Control message.
Note: If your Windows 8 account does not have administrator privileges, you may be prompted with a different message here, asking for credentials from another account on your computer that does have administrator privileges before you'll be allowed to open an elevated Command Prompt.
An elevated Command Prompt window will appear.
Since you're now running the Command Prompt program as an administrator, you can execute any Windows 8 command without worrying about permission restrictions.
