LOL... sorry for being unclear. I think the most common expression is
"elevated command prompt" (1.7 million hits on Google). In this
context "elevated" refers to an elevated security token. With UAC,
even members of the Administrators group need to request elevation.

I dislike the name "command prompt".  "Elevated shell" would suit me,
but on Windows "shell" typically refers to the graphical shell
(desktop, taskbar, start menu) and associated Shell32 APIs such as
ShellExecute. Calling the console shell the "Command Prompt" is left
over from DOS,
for which it was literally named for the "Command" shell (like saying
bash prompt). Now it's like calling a tissue a Kleenex.
