Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with `wt ping google.de` in cmd.exe while the profile is configured to run as administrator, then trace how arguments are passed when launching the elevated profile. Done means the elevated cmd.exe receives and executes `ping google.de` just as the non-elevated launch does; no source file or test is named in the issue.
