The same (a windows open and automatically close) happens even if using a normal command prompt. However opening the command prompt with administrator rights and then run devcon works.

I ran across this post because Win7 has a similar problem even when running in cmd.exe.

There is a solution found on Microsofts website here:

I have not been able to verify it yet.

As far as I'm aware devcon is a command-line only program. You have to run it from a command window (cmd.exe) with the appropriate parameters. Once you know the parameters you want to use, you can write a batch file to easily recreate the command you want.
