Microsoft said it’s introducing Sudo for Windows 11 as part of an early preview version to help users execute commands with administrator privileges.
Sudo, short for superuser do, is a program for Unix-like computer operating systems that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user, usually a user with elevated permissions (e.g., administrator).
The feature is available for Windows 11 builds 26045 and later. It can be enabled by heading to Settings > System > For Developers, and setting “Enable sudo” to On.
“The inline configuration option runs the elevated process in the current window and the process is able to receive input from the current console session,” Redmond warns in its documentation.
Microsoft said it’s also in the process of open-sourcing the project on GitHub, urging other users to contribute to the initiative as well as report issues and file feature requests.
