Here are four different methods to run or open Windows Terminal as an administrator in Windows 11. In Windows 10, Windows Terminal was an optional app that users could download from Microsoft Store.

Microsoft released today a new Windows Terminal version that comes with a long-awaited feature making it possible to launch profiles that will automatically run as Administrator.

To install Bash, open Windows Terminal as an admin. You can do this by right-clicking the Windows icon and selecting “Windows Terminal (Admin)” from the power user menu.

With the Terminal, Windows has a common interface for Powershell, Command Prompt, and Azure Cloud Shell. This allows you to start the terminal directly with the command prompt.
