TL;DR Summary

Microsoft accidentally announced the arrival of sudo in Windows 11, allowing users to run programs with the security privileges of another, similar to Unix-like operating systems. The tool is set to arrive in the Canary Channel of the Windows 11 Insider program and will be available as open source on GitHub. Three options for enabling sudo are available, and a UAC dialog will also pop up, asking for confirmation of the elevation. Although the blog post confirming sudo was pulled shortly after publication, its introduction to Windows 11 will likely be welcomed by users familiar with its presence in Linux and macOS.
