Description of the new feature/enhancement

Option to open new PowerShell/Cmd tabs with Admin privileges. Currently this is done through the Start Menu or by creating a shortcut to open PS as Admin; this takes multiple steps.

I imagine the new tab menu (v) would list:

  • Windows PowerShell
  • CMD
  • Ubuntu
  • Windows PowerShell (admin)
  • CMD (admin)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

null
