Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Currently, when the user is assigned to Administrators, the ssh session will also be an Administrator session. This breaks some software like scoop.
Due to the development of sudo for Windows (https://github.com/microsoft/sudo), it would be a good idea to always start the session unprivileged. If the user needs Admin rights, they should use sudo instead.
