Introducing Sudo for Windows We’re excited to announce the release of Sudo for Windows in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26052! Sudo for Windows is a new way for users to run elevated commands directly from an unelevated console session. It is an ergonomic and familiar solution for users who want to elevate a command without having to first open a new elevated console.

    Ok, so yea just a “better” version of runas. I can see it being a bit easier when you just need to do the one thing as admin, but overall just opening an admin windows is still going to be the best way.

    I really think the security issues makes it not worth enabling.

      Yep. It’s basically an alias for:

      runas /user:administrator

      If you want to open a new command line window with admin privs you can always do:

      runas /user: administrator CMD.exe

      Which is of course on Linux this would kinda be like running:

      sudo su

        It’s not just an alias. It seems to be able to configurably block user input for sudo’d commands, retain the existing environment, ditch it and open a new window, and remember that you’ve sudo’d in the last minute or so.
