Description of the new feature / enhancement

The original Unix sudo command line utility supports a -b/-background option, which tells sudo to run the given command in the background.

Scenario when this would be used?

Simplify Task Delegation with Sudo's -b Option on Windows.

Example: In the routine of a system administrator, tasks like software updates and network adjustments are common. With the -b option in sudo, these tasks become more "streamlined"; easier to perform without the visual clutter. For instance, executing sudo -b winget upgrade --all allows for background updates of the system's software, eliminating the need for visual clutter and saving valuable time.

By leveraging the -b/-background option with sudo, administrators & casuals can streamline task delegation and improve efficiency in system management. It'd also be very useful to me <3
