Command prompt on Windows 10 Creators update
-
For those of you who have stepped up to the Creators update... My wife just went to a seminar on W10 and one of the bullet points on the creators update is that the command window will go away and is replaced with PowerShell. Is this true? I have a lot of effort invested in batch files, including how I backup my machine. If the command window goes away, can I still run commands or batch files interactively or with taskmgr etc? Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that... - Harvey

Now that's :cool: - just noticed you can open powershell from the File Explorer | File menu - sort of a 'drop to dos' - in the current open folder. Always wanted that. :thumbsup:

Mine has PowerShell... What version does your system say in System (right-click Start, choose "System")? If it's not Version 1703 and OS Build 15063, then it's not the Creator's Update.

Yup, CU with some additional updates (.138) Maybe those additional updates put the command prompt back.

Shift-right-click on the directory will also display "open powershell from here" :-D

You can also type 'powershell' in the explorer bar, and it will open a session in the current folder.
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old. While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)
