This extension simplifies restarting Visual Studio with elevated rights reopening the current project or solution. Originally published by Massimiliano Donini. Modified to work with Visual Studio 2015.

This extension, originally created for VS2013 by Massimiliano Donini tries to simplify the process of restarting visual studio, it also allows you to restart with elevated permissions (useful for example when starting to debug attached to IIS or using custom host names for IIS Express).

By pressing Restart Elevated command inside the File menu, visual studio will be restarted with admin rights and the current solution/project will be reopened (even command line switch will be restored).

Version 1.5 changelog

  • Converted for use in VS2015

Version 1.1 changelog

  • Added restart (without admin rights)
  • Showing restart even when running elevated (requested in comments)

    Note
    Restarting while running Visual Studio as Administrator would cause VS to restart elevated.

    Feel free to comment or report any issue.
