Interesting timing since there is sudo in one of the latest Windows preview builds…

M$ sudo has been around for a while as a dev setting iirc.

Microsoft officially introduced a native sudo command for Windows with the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26052, which was announced on February 8, 2024.
