Environment

Windows build number: 1903 - 18362.239 - 64 bit
Windows Terminal version: 0.2.1831.0

What's happening

I can't run commands because there's no way I know to run the app in administrator mode.

  3. Launching wt from a command prompt that's already elevated:

  5. If you type wt in the Start Menu, and press Ctrl+shift+enter, it should also launch as admin.
