# Call as `Invoke-Elevated {echo "test"}`, for example.

.Synopsis
   Executes a script block with elevated privileges.

.Description
   The Invoke-Elevated function runs the provided script block with administrative privileges. If the current session does not have administrative privileges, it starts a new elevated PowerShell session, executes the script block, and waits for the elevated session to close before continuing with the original script.

.Parameter Script
   The script block to be executed with elevated privileges.

.Parameter Arguments
   An optional array of arguments to pass to the script block.

.Example
   Invoke-Elevated { param($dir) Remove-Item -Path $dir -Recurse -Force } -Arguments "C:\ProtectedFolder"

   This example removes a protected folder by invoking the Remove-Item cmdlet with elevated privileges.
