About this tag
The createsymboliclink tag covers discussions about creating symbolic links (symlinks) in Windows. Symlinks are virtual files or folders that reference a physical file or folder elsewhere, supported by NTFS since Windows Vista. A key topic is the ability to create symlinks without administrator elevation, introduced in Windows 10 Insider build 14972, which improved the developer experience.
