The commands and files that are restricted tend to be critical to the functioning and security of the operating system, and they require special administrative permissions to run, move, modify, or delete.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Terminal doesn\u2019t allow you to have mixed-permission PowerShell tabs open for security reasons. It is difficult to fully isolate the opens tabs from each other \u2014 in practice, that means something running in a non-elevated PowerShell tab could conceivably escalate its permissions through an elevated PowerShell tab, leaving your PC exposed. The developers decided that risk \u2014 though small \u2014 was best avoided entirely.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Start_PowerShell_as_Admin_In_Windows_Terminal\"><\/span>How to Start PowerShell as Admin In Windows Terminal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since Windows Terminal doesn\u2019t allow mixed-permissions tabs natively, there is only one way to run PowerShell as Admin within Windows Terminal \u2014 by running Windows Terminal as administrator.
