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.
I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn’t working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.
then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.
they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn’t always line up
afaik they also alias common linux/gnu commands like curl… but the syntax isnt like curl at all
