Using both Windows Terminal and WT Preview versions (latest) - we're unable to elevate permissions from a logged in non-admin user to an admin user in either offering of Windows Terminal at this moment. We get "App Can't Open" error (red box) when this happens. Logging in as the admin user itself as some articles suggest is not an option for us - we only allow elevation from a non-user account explicitly as part of our policies.
This seems to be a Windows 11 thing. I haven't found many definitive articles on this topic however - is this a known issue at this time? Not a major deal - we have workarounds (manually opening a separate powershell window for example as admin) but it would be nice to know that this is a known thing and is potentially being worked on in a future release of WT.
