Just tried it, got told that it is not a valid command.
Had to enable it, and got prompted to do so, but it works just fine.

how can you revert 2 million years of evolution in a human in 3.2 seconds with just a simple phrase?

It's funny that elevation of permissions is something handled elegantly in Linux since forever, but M$ just can't make it happen.
UAC is slow, ineffective, and inconsistent. But even when you turn it off you find some directories are off limits still. Even while you can vandalize regedit and gpedit all day long.
The "hello Windows" system of pins and bio-metrics may be an improvement, IDK. I liked using a PIN for logins and stuff right up until I needed the real password for something.
Or maybe that's the problem: the fact that M$ handles elevation of permission in 6 different and contradictory ways that all have to be backward comparable.

After witnessing their handling of Control Panel vs. "trendy no-option we-think-you're-stupid Control Panel" for like 4 straight versions, I think this has just become their philosophy at this point. Lol

What is interesting to me is that Steam somehow manages to run elevated commands when installing games and it, itself, never actually gives any UAC warnings and even kinda breaks if you force Steam to run as an admin from the compatibility tab.
Unfortunately, I think the explanation for this one is that Steam bypasses a lot of Windows security and can be used as an exploration vector.

I use to think if I opened Explorer as an administrator I could turn off the parental controls my mom put on the computer

it just blithely demands an elevated runtime for no reason because its developers were morons.
It’s always, always, this one.
Moron developer chiming in: it's definitely this.

I was just forced to upgrade at work. There are still number of dependencies to the old style of settings, but they've done great job on the new panel for the most part.
Everything is in one place, no longer do we have dozen different modals for everything, it makes a lot more sense, provides more information about devices.
It's obviously a lot of work, but I think they're taking it in the right direction. -

I'd hazard a gueas it's not touching a system drive, but rather saving all files as a regular user.

Warning, this program wants to perform some actions as administrator. >>>OKAY<<<<

Steam installs a system level background service to avoid UAC prompts. There was a privilege escalation vulnerability exploiting this service disclosed in 2019.

Windows has sudo now.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I really wish they used different name for that utility though, since it has nothing to do with ""Linux""
sudo.It is like when they released a package manager called winget, which is not really a package manager, but more like a program/installer manager.
