Microsoft is introducing the sudo command, commonly used in Unix-based systems, to Windows 11 for developers to run programs with higher security privileges or as another user. This feature will be available in a future version of Windows 11 and can be configured in three modes. Microsoft is open-sourcing the project on GitHub and plans to expand documentation and share more details about the security implications in the coming months.
Microsoft is testing a preview build of Windows 11 that includes a feature resembling the Linux "sudo" command, allowing users to elevate privilege levels without opening a separate command prompt. While the feature is not yet functional, it could provide a convenient way for Windows users to perform administrative tasks. This move reflects Microsoft's ongoing integration of Linux features into Windows, although it remains to be seen whether this feature will be included in the consumer version of Windows or remain exclusive to Windows Server.
Microsoft is introducing the Linux 'sudo' command to Windows Server 2025, allowing admins to elevate privileges for console applications. The leaked preview build of Windows Server 2025 includes new settings for the 'sudo' command, which is currently in early development and requires developer mode to be enabled. This feature aims to provide a way for low-privileged users to execute commands with elevated privileges, similar to its functionality in Linux. While not yet available in Windows 11, it is possible that Microsoft may integrate this feature into the operating system in the future.
