Steps to reproduce
Please fix the windows installation so that when SUDO is disabled in developer settings it doesn't create a placeholder sudo.exe which breaks whatever sudo implementation we already have our every time we run major Windows Updates?
The installed sudo.exe is completely useless and merely shows where to enable it (RUDE) and prevents loading of one we already have.
No means No.
Expected Behavior
No sudo.exe to be installed, much less in a directory so early in the PATH
Actual Behavior
A useless sudo.exe file is created in TWO places C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and C:\Windows\System32 which are found before any other installed files merely because those directories are by default the first things in the PATH.
Additionally, running that sudo.exe does nothing but tell you where to enable sudo (we're developers, we can Bing it...)
p.s. to restore Geardog's vastly superior gsudo after a Windows Update breaks your machine run:
gsudo config PathPrecedence True
This will put the directory where gsudo's sudo.exe symlink is to the front of the PATH (typically PATH=C:\Program Files\gsudo\Current;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;...
