        try:
            adminpy.AsAdmin(str(sys.argv[0])) #If user allows UAC request,open the same .exe as administrator and close the oldest
            sys.exit(0) #Close the old instance after the opening of the new
        except: #If user doesn't allow UAC request
            print("Users doesn't allow to open it with admin rights")
            return
