My Windows Terminal Settings profile with elevated prompt for PowerShell via gsudo.

Nice. I ran across this blog post to accomplish pretty much the same thing.

I created 2 sets on modifications for both PowerShell and CMD in Terminal Preview, one with gsudo and one with gsudo -s (giving highest privileges, as System). Just in case I ever need such abominably high privileges on the machine.

Great idea @JohnLGalt, I've moved my terminal settings to git under a proper dotfiless now.

Using gsudo makes life a lot easier until elevation is supported natively on Windows Terminal.

Agreed. Nice move to the git, that should help some folks.
