Will Microsoft Bring the Linux 'Sudo' Command to Windows Server?
An anonymous reader shared this report from BleepingComputerMicrosoft released the first Windows Server 2025 Insider preview build last week. However, soon after, a newer version was leaked online. As first reported by Windows Latest, the leaked version contains some new in-development features, including new settings for a Windows 'sudo' command. These settings are only available after enabling developer mode, and the sudo command does not currently work from the command line yet, showing it is early in development. However, the sudo settings provide some clues as to how the command will work, with the ability to run sudo applications 'In a new windows', 'With input disabled', and 'Inline'.... It is important to note that Microsoft commonly tests new features in preview builds that do not make it into the production builds. Obligatory XKCD.
