Microsoft announced that the sudo command feature would be available for Windows Server 2025. However, with the release of Windows 11 build 26052, it later confirmed that the feature would be available exclusively on Windows 11. Nevertheless, some users found sudo command traces on the preview. Microsoft stated that it was added by accident and would be disabled in future releases.^[6] Upgrades are also available from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2022.^[7]
