Windows Terminal (Preview) – Run as Administrator [Solved]

Launched a few months ago and still in preview, Microsoft’s Windows Terminal is the future console from Microsoft that combines Command-prompt, Powershell, Azure Cloud Shell and more in a single app.

And…”app” here is the key word.
Because Windows Terminal (preview) is available through Microsoft Store, the way this apps work (linked to the user that installed it) make it difficult to run the app as administrator, if you like me, login with a non-administrator user.

To solve this, the easy way, its really simple:

  • Login with your administrative account
  • Install Windows Terminal (Preview) from the Microsoft Store
  • Login again with your “normal” account
  • “Run as Administrator” and…voilĂ !

Microsoft Endpoint Manager FAQs


Announced at Ignite, Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) is the new solution for Endpoint Management that brings together SCCM + Intune + Autopilot + etc
Because there is a lot of questions about what’s the future for SCCM and Intune, Microsoft launched a FAQ website that answers to almost everything.
But really, the most important things that I think should be noticed are:
  • SCCM and Intune will continue to exist and get Microsoft’s investment
  • You should connect your SCCM with Intune right now with co-management
  • Microsoft Endpoint Manager will be the best of both worlds:
    • The benefits of using your on-premises information in the cloud
    • The seamless usage of the cloud information to manage your on-premises devices
    • One console to rule them all
