Add "Run as Admin" Items about windows-terminal-context-menu HOT 9 CLOSED

Good idea!
I modify the naming at a7bbd8e

Thanks

This works for me

powershell -WindowStyle hidden -Command "Start-Process powershell -WindowStyle hidden -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList """"-Command C:\Users\Meegoo\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p 'Windows PowerShell' -d '%V'"""""
Replace path to wt with your own (or just use wt, it should be a proper alias) and profile with ones you want.

If anyone can find a better way to escape quotes in this monstrocity, be my guest. Took me like an hour to figure those ones out. And implementing this in yet another powershell script isn't gonna be fun.
Also, might just be me, but first "-WindowStyle hidden" seems broken. It still shows me powershell window, albeit for a slightly shorter period of time. minimized also works badly, it starts as usual, and only then minimizes, making it even more annoying than hidden

Alternatively, you can add actual administrator profiles using third party executable and just use those as normal microsoft/terminal#1032 (comment). However, keep in mind that gsudo probably opens up some attack vectors because Windows doesn't exactly support this usecase

PS. Also, unfortunately, new tabs in elevated Terminal always start at C:\Windows\system32, this is a "Windows thing". So if this bothers you, elevated profiles from above should help.

I have tried the following method.
But all of them are failed.

1. Add HasLUAShield for menu item
2. Executable powershell command Start-Process wt.exe -Verb runAs

Does anyone have any suggestion?

Hi all,

I have implemented this function.
You can give it a try 4fe75b6 😉

The RunAs item is closed by default, you have to turn it on in config.json
Such like that

{
    "profiles": {
        "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}": {
            "showRunAs": true
        }
    }
}

Thanks

Thank you @Meegooo
I love gsudo solution, it's a simple way.
But gsudo is a external program, this make this script no independent.

For me it currently shows Run as PowerShell:

I'd suggest you to put PowerShell (Admin), so then it would look like the native Windows Win+X menu:

Awesome!
