What are you trying to accomplish with sendKeys.SendWait? If you just want to pass arguments to your process start, use arguments property of StartInfo
ProcessStartInfo.Arguments Property (System.Diagnostics)[^]

SendKeys will not work in the security contexts for your target window is higher from the one sending the keys. Think about what a massive security risk it would be if a normal user could just send and keystrokes they wanted to a admin CMD prompt.

This is a massive security risk and is therefore denied.
