Windows Server 2025 is the fourteenth and current major long term servicing channel (LTSC) release of the Windows Server operating system by Microsoft Corporation, as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems.[2] [3] Windows Server 2025 was released on November 1, 2024.[4]
Microsoft announced that the sudo command feature would be available for the Windows Server 2025; however, with the release of Windows 11 build 26052, it later confirmed that the feature would be available exclusively on Windows 11. Nevertheless, some users found sudo command traces on the preview. Microsoft stated that it was added by accident and would be disabled in future releases.[5]
Windows Server 2025 is also the first Windows Server operating system to support ARM64 architecture.[citation needed]
