    Finally. Although, I bet it’s going to be one of these looongass PS OO commands, with an alias tied to it.

    Probably Escalate-RegularUserPrivelige and smack a mandatory -Confirm argument in there as well, just to be annoying.

      Although you have to admire that PowerShell at least attempts to define a common set of verbs and vocabulary.

      The trick to powershell is to make incredibly liberal use of tab completion to speed yourself up. Or make aliases for commands you use really often.

        Yeah, I get that it can be a pain to type long commands out the first time, but if you’re using a terminal or an editor without tab completion in 2024 then you’ve chosen to do things the hard way.
