Also 'start -Verb runas' in Powershell.

Is there anything shorter than `powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file`?

  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -InstallPSWindowsUpdate -UpdateWindows -UpdateChocoPackages
setup_windows.ps1: https://github.com/westurner/dotfiles/blob/develop/scripts/s...

The executionpolicy merely allows you to write unsigned scripts. Not that it runs them elevated.

    powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -InstallPSWindowsUpdate -UpdateWindows -UpdateChocoPackages
    powershell -ex bypass -f ./setup_windows.ps1 -I -UpdateW -UpdateC
(or whatever are short enough to uniquely identify parameter names for your script)

I really hope that sudo is going to allow one to capture the output of the thing running in sudo and handle errors better. I recently wrote an installer script in PowerShell and had to go through severe contortions to support privilege elevations for only a minimal part of the script. I needed to use start with runas to relaunch the same script with different options to continue the installation process and there's not much in the way of proper error handling either.
