    sudo can only be elevated via the User Account Control (UAC) security feature designed to protect the operating system from unauthorized changes using verification prompt.

    Doesn’t that defeat the entire fucking purpose of sudo?

      No, you can still run admin commands from a non admin console which is kind of neat.

        “kind of neat” is being able to winrm into a machine without having to run a VNC session in parallel simply to click the popup. Taking the authentication prompt outside the shell session is… honestly, completely on brand for Microsoft.
