    Powershell Core "Sudo" returns "Command not found" almost always


    Except for a few commands that are inherently admin-only, sudo simply does not work in Powershell Core or Powershell 5 for that matter.Details: I want to delete a write-protected folder.Remove-Item <item> returns something about insufficient rights as expected.Sudo Remove-Item <item> returns "Command not found".I have enabled Sudo. I tested it sudo netstat -ab behaves as expected with just netstat -ab faling as expected and it works for netstat and sudo -V returns 1.0.0. For everything else? It fails to recognize the command. I tried putting the command afterwards in quota

    PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

    Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

    Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

    WSL run commands on boot as sudo

    I may just be misinterpreting what you are saying, but what you are asking for cannot be done.

    You cannot run sudo commands for the Ubuntu VM from the Windows login screen.

    You can configure your Ubuntu vm to run those commands when the vm is started in WSL, but you aren't going to be able to inject those commands from inside Windows itself.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I realize I was being unimaginative.

    You could set a PowerShell or cmd line script as a batch file to run WSL Ubuntu when Windows is started.
    Then configure your WSL Ubuntu distro to run the sudo commands when it is thereby started.

    This recent blog post might hold some clues:

    Powershell Core "Sudo" returns "Command not found" almost always

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Powershell Core "Sudo" returns "Command not found" almost always :)
