No option of open cmd here or open Powershell window here on right click

My problem basically is that after I have installed git bash on my system, the option Open command window here and Open PowerShell window here does not appear.

enter image description here

So from somewhere, I got to know that shift+ right-click should show me an option to open Powershell, and it really worked, but now I want to run this Powershell as an administrator, and now I have no option like that even after doing shift + right-click.

Here a screen shot of that

enter image description here

So here is what I want:

  1. I should get an option to open cmd and PowerShell only by doing a right click as it used to happen before I downloaded git.
  2. I should also get an option to run them as an administrator only by doing a right-click.

It would be great if anybody could help me to overcome this problem as fast as possible.

Thanks in advance.

    these links include solution for both right click or shift + right click
