Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
As shown in the video announcing the 'sudo' command, you can run "netstat -ab" to see all the listening sockets on your machine, but it'll go away as soon as it's shown you them.
It'd be nice to not close the window immediately on exiting the command.
Scenario when this would be used?
Many sudo commands, for sure, will be executed to perform an action.
Some, at least, will be executed to see a result.
Those result-seeking sudo commands are going to be more useful if a user can read the result.
Supporting information
I tried this in a virtual machine running Insider version of Windows 11. After prompting (expected) for UAC elevation, and running the "netstat -ab" command, the window closes.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the Windows 11 Insider scenario and the netstat -ab command, then locate the implementation of “Open in new window” and how it handles command exit. Done means an option lets users keep the window open after result-seeking commands finish while preserving the current behavior by default.
