As you use cmder now,here some setup tips that good to know.

Setup administrator:
Output:
Right click on cmder.exe --> properties --> Change setup for all users --> Run this program as administrator --> mark on V
Shortcut to open Cmder in a chosen folder:
  1. Open a terminal as an Administrator
  2. Navigate to the directory you have placed Cmder
  3. Execute .\cmder.exe /REGISTER ALL If you get a message "Access Denied" ensure you are executing the command in an Administrator prompt.
ptpython work and look nice from cmder,it's a better REPL than than just start python.
pip install ptpython

i may be wrong as i dont use windows much. But from what i know you cant. You have to open an admin terminal from the start. Then run your program.

You could also elevate wihtout prompting but that is not as secure

It's convenient as i don't want prompting every time i use cmder(it's always admin).
cmd do i have prompting before elevate,but that's okay as i almost never use cmd.

Thanks for your efforts. The only thing I succeeded is to install ptpython via C:\WINDOWS\system32
It works well on the above and also on cmder.
As for Administrator on cmder; no success: "failed to backup Conemu"
Since I can become Administrator with the old command prompt, there is not much harm.
