My work laptop has not Elevated Admin Right on Startup.

Thus OPC Server of Gateway on my local machine is not working.

I cannot find, Ignition in windows services either.

Is there a way to restart service with elevated admin?

Go look again. Change the default service account to something with the desired privileges.
