Local system escalation
In the case of Windows 10 or Windows 7, we may be able to run the Meterpreter shell on the context of the user. This can be bypassed by using multiple post-exploit module by sending background

The bypassuac
module in the Meterpreter shell will utilize the existing session to provide a more privileged Meterpreter shell, as shown in the following screenshot:
