ConEmu manages the whole elevated/non-elevated situation better than Windows Terminal in my opinion. As mentioned in the article elevated and non-elevated Windows Terminal windows are two different apps. In ConEmu they are tabs in the app. The real benefit is that you can easily start either a elevated or non-elevated window within ConEmu, of course this is only possible if ConEmu was started in elevated mode in the first place.

  In Windows Terminal, I'm sure you can create a new profile with your chosen shell prepended with "start-process -Verb RunAs" that will offer similar fuctionality.

    And it seems some improvements to mixed elevation is coming soon: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/8455 https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/8455

      Only small improvements; that report specifically says that the full feature isn't possible: > For a long time, we've been researching adding support to the Windows Terminal for running both unelevated and elevated (admin) tabs side-by-side, in the same window. However, after much research, we've determined that there isn't a safe way to do this without opening the Terminal up as a potential escalation-of-privilege vector.

    It still opens a separate window, unfortunately.

  I use the gsudo program for that gives you sudo in windows terminal and just elevates current shell.

Its not quite available yet, looks to be getting the bulk of the work released in 1.9 looking at https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/8888 https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/8888
