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.
How is this different from using
runas, which has been around since Windows XP?Unless this finally allows an administrator to run a program as another user, without having to authenticate as them, it’s not any more useful.
I also don’t see any mention of GUI programs, meaning it would actually be less useful than runas.
