Bash on Windows is running as Administrator if you launch it this way.\r\n\r\nOn the version of Windows you're running, you can verify this by trying to `ping` remote servers -- the Linux `ping` binary is only granted network access if it is being run with Administrator privileges, so it should work as launched as Administrator but not if launched normally.  Newer [Insider builds](https://insider.windows.com) lift this limitation; they also add the ability to launch a Windows `.exe` from the Linux command prompt.  If you run Bash on Windows as Administrator, you can for example run `cmd.exe /c start` from your Linux prompt, and you will see that it opens a command prompt as Administrator."}}
