Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I did not have sudo enabled. I typed sudo at Start menu and hit return and it seemed to do nothing. I was expecting it to help me enable it. Instead it seems to do nothing. I am guessing it is an alias to nowhere.
How about something like:
if (sudo.exe == not-hydrated) { Launch Control.Settings.DevSettings.Sudo page}
else {sudo.exe}
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Home
OS Version: 10.0.26200 N/A Build 26200
Heck with agents... just ask and do it for me. ;)
Scenario when this would be used?
Only when someone is silly like me and does not currently have it enabled.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior from the Windows 11 Start menu with sudo disabled, then inspect how sudo detects whether it is enabled and how the project launches or documents its settings flow. Done means invoking sudo in this state provides a clear path to the Windows Sudo settings page, while enabled sudo continues to behave normally.
