i am following this tutorial for recognizing text from a .png image with pytesseract python library but i got this error:

OSError: [WinError 740] The requested operation requires elevation
is there any way to solve this problem?
this is my code:
from PIL import Image
from pytesseract import pytesseract
# Defining paths to tesseract.exe
# and the image we would be using
path_to_tesseract = r"tesseract.exe"
image_path = r"pdf2png/ActaConstitutiva0/ActaConstitutiva0-01.png"
# Opening the image & storing it in an image object
img = Image.open(image_path)
# Providing the tesseract executable
# location to pytesseract library
pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = path_to_tesseract
# Passing the image object to image_to_string() function
# This function will extract the text from the image
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img)
# Displaying the extracted text
print(text[:-1])
i am installing tesseract.exe from here
i have python version 3.10.6 and pytesseract 0.3.10
i am running this code from jupyter notebook 6.4.1
i also tried following this answer from stack overflw but it didnt worked...
