I am using Windows 7 SP 1 64 bit. When I installed Windows Management Framework 4, the nice new blue consoles have not been installed.
I even further upgraded to Windows Management Framework 5 and am still stuck with the old black console C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe.
This powershell.exe is showing a version number of 10.0.10586.117.
Powershell has been updated though. When I enter $PSVersionTable
in the old console window I get the following:
Name Value
---- -----
PSVersion 5.0.10586.117
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion 10.0.10586.117
CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion 3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1
Everything seems to work OK.
I'm just upset that I don't have the blue Windows Powershell Console and Windows Powershell Console ISE in Accessories. Am I being too sensitive?
Is it something to do with my pre-existing install of .NET 4.6? I read somewhere that this can cause issues with Powershell installations.
powershell.exe
and the other to%windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell_ISE.exe
