Unable to run command with required permissions

Description

Workflows have started to fail, requiring to run as administrator privileges. Failed workflow link

We have just started to see this issue, and wasn't persistent before. Did something change with the windows-latest upgrate to v2022? Docs still mention the following:

Windows virtual machines are configured to run as administrators with User Account Control (UAC) disabled.

Could someone help us navigate through this? Or if we'd need to provide runAs flag somewhere in case there have been some permission changes?

Hello @onuzbee,
All powershell scripts are run by default with disabled UAC under runner user which is a member of Administrator group, that's why we get Running the installer as administrator is disabled by default, use -RunAsAdmin parameter if you know what you are doing. error.

To fix an issue you should pass RunAsAdmin flag to the script:

- run: |
          (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://get.scoop.sh', 'scoop.ps1') 
          ./scoop.ps1 -RunAsAdmin
