Shipped in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26052. https://www.tiraniddo.dev/2024/02/sudo-on-windows-quick-rundown.html claims it has a big security problem that makes the program accept calls to elevate from anywhere once first run
Edit:
- The security problem has been internally fixed and will be available in the next release
- It’s not just an alias for ‘runas’. 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.
- It brings up UAC instead of having you input the password
People pay for windows?
You can get a legit Windows 11 key for like 5 bucks, no reason not to install it honestly. Even if only for dual booting, it can save you a lot of headaches.

A product key, which allows you to use Windows to its fullest, costs money to Microsoft.
That’s a myth that people need to stop spreading.
Microsoft is a business. Microsoft is also not stupid. If it cost them more to provide a product than it makes them, they wouldn’t provide it. They’re is a huge amount of examples of them doing this. They don’t provide it because they’re nicer guys.
Microsoft uses Windows, and all of it’s products, as a vehicle for Azure and advertisers. Everything they do feeds into that one way or another.
Microsoft stopped being a software company some time ago.
Sorry, I meant it costs money, which goes to Microsoft. It was poorly worded.
That makes sense. 👍
Most people here pirate it or get the price bundled with their manufacturer. It’s surprisingly easy
