Last week, Microsoft released the first preview version of the Windows Server 2025 Insider operating system. However, shortly after, a newer version was leaked onto the internet which includes some new features including new sudo command settings in Windows.
The sudo utility is a typical Unix utility that allows you to run processes under a different user. Modern documentation gives a more succinct explanation of the abbreviation “substitute user, do” instead of the original “superuser do”. However, it is still true that sudo is most often used for a controlled increase in the rights of an ordinary user, who can use it to run programs as root.
If you activate the developer mode in the upcoming Windows Server, an item to enable sudo command support will be added in the settings. The latter itself does not work yet, so it can be seen that the feature is still being prepared. However, the sudo setting options provide some clues as to how the command will work.
There should be options to run applications “In a new window”, “With input suppressed” or “Inline”, i.e. inside the current window. Windows has long allowed applications to request elevated privileges using UAC, but some administrative utilities do not support this mode and require that they be launched with sufficient privileges. It seems that this is what sudo is for, just as it is for Linux, for example.
