Go influence UAC team please. Make sudo first class citizen and just the same as on linux (or comparable). Please let me sudo something without UAC window and new process ...
- zadjii 8y agoActually we spent MONTHS debating the pros and cons of adding a sudo on Windows. Curiously, Windows is more secure than linux because it _doesn't_ have a sudo. In Windows, any application can set messages to another window at the same integrity level with SendMessage/PostMessage. If you had a `sudo` on windows, you could have a medium-IL terminal window which is talking to a high-IL process (running with the hypothetical sudo), and any other medium-il process could drive the console, effectively creating an escalation of privilege attack vector. Its very much by design.
