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:

  1. The security problem has been internally fixed and will be available in the next release
  2. 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.
  3. It brings up UAC instead of having you input the password

      I like it! I think I’ll tinker with this on my workstation, potentially even my dev environment. It isn’t suitable for my present issue though, as gsudo is not in the SOE. Also, from that little demo thingy, it appears to pop up a UAC prompt the first time it executes. I need to be non-interactive.

          This is a sad revelation. This sudo implementation wasn’t going to make much difference to me immediately anyway, as I assume sudo won’t be in Windows Server until v2025. But still: I was hoping it would work like *nix with a sudoers file or something similar.
