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.

    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.
