Research direction
The issue concerns rustup on Windows and suggests using the runas command when administrator permissions are needed. Start by tracing the Windows permission-failure path and determining the expected elevation behavior. Done means rustup can auto-elevate the affected operation without disrupting normal non-administrator use, with tests covering the Windows-specific behavior.
