Win10 preview version 14971 to replace PowerShell command prompt

The latest Windows 10 beta has been completely changed, making Windows PowerShell the focus because it replaces the super popular command prompt in the operating system. Starting with Windows 10 Build 14971, Microsoft is trying to make PowerShell the main command shell. Therefore, PowerShell officially replaces the command prompt in the Win + X menu, and when the user right-clicks on the Start menu, it will only allow more powerful applications to be launched. program. Also, in the File Explorer's File menu, you can't find the old command prompt in the context menu that appears when you press Shift+right-click on any folder.

Type cmd in the Run dialog will also launch PowerShell, so Microsoft has taken an important step toward phasing out the traditional command prompt. However, users can still stick to the command prompt, but it's unclear how long Microsoft can let users use it, because Microsoft expects to let the traditional command prompt disappear at some point in the future.

Windows Insider program owner Dona Sarkar said that for those who like to use the command prompt, they can open the Settings > Personalization > taskbar, and will be named "ld"; When you press the Start button or press WIN + X, the option to replace the command prompt with Windows PowerShell is set to Off.
