I don't think it should matter - it's actually closing the current (non-elevated) process and starting the same thing again from the shell with elevated privileges, so it's going to reload @INC the same way anyway.

Once you're not in elevated mode, you can't change - you can't "upgrade" a running process. You can even see this in Microsoft's own tools; the Task Manager has a button "Show processes from all users" when you start it as a non-administrative user. Click that button and you'll notice that the Task Manager window goes away and reappears, now with a checkbox instead of a button. That's because the non-elevated process had to be swapped out for an elevated one.

It's kinda weird, but eh. Windows.
