var startProcess = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
        newProcessInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe";
        startProcess.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; # run in the background
        startProcess.Verb = "runas"; # run as [administrator]
        startProcess.Arguments = @"-executionpolicy unrestricted -Command ""C:\scripts\powercfg.bat -noexit"""; # set powershell switches to call the batch files to run unrestricted. Remove the -noexit item to close the window automatically after each run time
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startProcess); # Trigger the start command to instantiate and bowow
