I need someone to help me correct the script below to bypass UAC Consent and execute without prompt?

If Not WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("elevate") Then
  CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute WScript.FullName _
    , """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """ /elevate", "", "runas", 1
  WScript.Quit
End If

What I have tried:

If Not WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("elevate") Then
  CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute WScript.FullName _
    , """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """ /elevate", "", "runas", 0
  WScript.Quit
End If

You can't bypass UAC - that's the whole point!
If you could bypass UAC then two things would happen:
1) Users wouldn't know that what an app is about to do is potentially dangerous and / or damaging to their system.
2) If you could do it, so could I. And him over there, with the "I write Ransomware" T-shirt. And suddenly, the malware problem takes a whole new prominence and nobodies computers are safe, even if you do exercise proper precautions.

So no - you can't do it. Elevation requires UAC confirmation from the user and cannot be bypassed.

By pass windows UAC consent.

UAC is specially designed to make life of malware programmers harder.
malware is anything not legitimate.
If your software is legitimate, why is it a problem yo ask the user for permission with UAC.
