Windows terminal open as admin6/21/2023 ![]() I revisited this today when I got annoyed again about needing to launch a new window and came across this GitHub issue. In Windows terminal, I needed to either drop out to a separate PowerShell window I used the “run as admin” right-click command on or configure a tab to execute a script that would launch another window as admin. While I’m not advocating for using admin mode in your day-to-day terminal-based work, you sometimes need to elevate for installing software, running commands that require admin rights, etc. However, the one thing I did miss from Cmder was the built-in support for having a terminal tab run in UAC Administrator mode. It had many features that Windows Terminal now has, and when that came out, I switched over. Before Windows Terminal existed, I used to use Cmder as my terminal of choice.
