Solution 2

You can look at adding <requestedexecutionlevel level="requireAdministrator" uiaccess="false" /> to the application manifest file.
This will force the user to run as administrator.

All you need to do is to call a form in a separate thread.

Have a look here:

I believe what you are trying to achieve is not possible!
If I understand correctly, you wish to elevate the currently running process to perform some tasks by the new dialog that requires Administrator privileges.

You can see that various programs that utilize UAC actually launch a separate process each time an administrative action needs to be performed like TaskManager.

If you wish to elevate a process you are starting, you can use the StartInfo.Verb = "runas":

C#

...
startInfo.Verb = "runas";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (startInfo);

You could however perform operations on behalf of a different user, using Impersonation
See A small C# Class for impersonating a User[^]

Good luck,
Edo
