About this tag
The administrator commands tag covers guidance for running commands with elevated privileges in Windows. Its current content focuses on Sudo for Windows, a Windows 11 feature that lets users prefix commands with “sudo” in a normal terminal rather than opening an elevated session first. The documented support begins with Windows 11 version 24H2 and OS build 26100; it is not built into Windows 10 or earlier Windows 11 releases. Related considerations include User Account Control (UAC), administrator approval or credentials, and organizational policies that may disable or restrict sudo. Use this tag to find practical information about enabling, configuring, and understanding these administrator command workflows.
