Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

Using Sudo to elevate command shell.
I'm using gsudo for a while to elevate the command shell, also with 24H2 windows has its own sudo feature.

Chocolatey usualy just get a error message and installs the software anyways.
FM: "Chocolatey detected you are not running from an elevated command shell"

This message is in a very unobtrusive color and does not need to be confirmed individually.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

An Option to configure how to handle this situation.

There are two Option that would be viable.

1. Cancel the installation at all (Prevent any installation without elevated command shell)
2. Give a more Prominent /Error Color) Error Message that you have to agree to separately

I'm unsure if we're seeing the same message!

I'm seeing a pretty prominently coloured message (no other messages are in the same colour, to my memory) that needs a separate agreement, and won't continue until you continue (or not).

Am I misinterpreting your request?

with Appearance Campbell, it looks like this

But the main Topic is to completely abort the installation if there are no elevated permission

That would be a user decision. This is why the message, and the prompt, are there.

A user decision on this step only creates unnecessary problems.
At least an option to configure chocolatey to automatically cancel installations without elevation should be there.
And to be honest, that Option should be the standard

Which problems does it create?

At least an option to configure chocolatey to automatically cancel installations without elevation should be there.

There are instances where Chocolatey CLI can be and are used without running in an elevated session. If there was an option, then users would have to turn it off and on again, if they were using it. Or we would need to implement options that you could add to the command line to switch it off for that one run. This is a lot of extra work for very little extra gain by a small handful of users.

Software should not always make guesses at what the user intended to do. If you are using any open-source tool, you need to ensure you are using it in the correct context.

And to be honest, that Option should be the standard

I disagree.
