I ve created wsudo  an open-source sudo-like CLI tool for Windows to run programs or commands with elevated right  in the context of the current directory  It s available as a Chocolatey package    I use it a lot for stuff like configuring build agents  admin things like sfc  scannow  dism  online  cleanup-image  restorehealth or simply for installing updating my local Chocolatey packages  Use at your own risk   Installation  choco install wsudo   Chocolatey must be already installed   Purpose  wsudo is a Linux sudo-like tool for Windows to invoke a program with elevated rights  as Administrator  from a non-admin shell command prompt and keeping its current directory   This implementation doesn t depend on the legacy Windows Script Host  CScript   Instead  it uses a helper PowerShell 5 1 script that invokes  Start-Process -Wait -Verb runAs      cmdlet  Your system most likely already has PowerShell 5 x installed  otherwise you ll be offered to install it as a dependency   Usage  wsudo runs a program or an inline command with elevated rights in the current directory  Examples   wsudo   myAdminScript bat  wsudox  del C  Windows Temp      amp  amp  pause  wasudo cup all -y wasudox start notepad C  Windows System32 drivers etc hosts    For more details  visit the GitHub repro

All the answers explain how to elevate your command in a new console host  What amused me was that none of those tools behave like  nix sudo  allowing to execute the command inside the current console  So  I wrote  gsudo Source Code https   github com gerardog gsudo Installation Via scoop  Install scoop if you don t already have it  Then   scoop install gsudo  Or via Chocolatey choco install gsudo  Manual instalation   Download the latest release  unzip  and add to path  from https   github com gerardog gsudo releases   Demo

Open notepad and paste this code   echo off powershell -Command  quot Start-Process cmd -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList   c cd  d  CD   amp  amp      quot   echo on  Then  save the file as sudo cmd  Copy this file and paste it at C  Windows System32 or add the path where sudo cmd is to your PATH Environment Variable  When you open command prompt  you can now run something like sudo start    If you want the admin command prompt window to stay open when you run the command  change the code in notepad to this   echo off powershell -Command  quot Start-Process cmd -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList   k cd  d  CD   amp  amp      quot   echo on  Explanation  powershell -Command runs a powershell command  Start-Process is a powershell command that starts a process  in this case  command prompt  -Verb RunAs runs the command as admin  -Argument-List runs the command with arguments  Our arguments are   c cd  d  CD   amp  amp          means all arguments  so if you did sudo foo bar  it would run in command prompt foo bar because the parameters are foo and bar  and    returns foo bar  cd  d  CD  is a command to go to the current directory  This will ensure that when you open the elevated window  the directory will be the same as the normal window  the  amp  amp  means that if the first command is successful  run the second command  The  c is a cmd parameter for closing the window after the command is finished  and the  k is a cmd parameter for keeping the window open  Credit to Adam Plocher for the staying in the current directory code

In Windows Powershell you can use Start-Process command with option -Verb RunAs to start and elevated process  Here is my sudo function example   function sudo       Start-Process  args -verb runas     Ex  Open hosts file as Admin in notepad  sudo notepad C  Windows System32 drivers etc hosts

To just run a command as admin in a non-elevated Powershell  you can use Start-Process directly  with the right options  particularly -Verb runas   It s a lot more convoluted than sudo  particularly because you can t just re-use the previous command with an additional option  You need to specify the arguments to your command separately   Here is an example  using the route command to change the gateway    This fails because we are not in an elevated PS    gt  route change 0 0 0 0 mask 0 0 0 0 192 168 1 3 The requested operation requires elevation    This works after accepting the UAC    gt  Start-Process route -ArgumentList  change 0 0 0 0 mask 0 0 0 0 192 168 1 3  -Verb runas   Or for a command that requires cmd exe    gt  Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList   c other command arguments      -Verb runas
