  1. An older version of PowerShell is installed in my PC


    According to Microsoft Docs, Windows 10 has Powershell 5.1 installed by default. But, I still have v5.0 in my computer. What could be the reason behind it? How can I update it?

    :)

  2. Swapping to an older version of windows

    Is there still an official way to drop back to an older version of windows, I honestly don't mind using a 3rd party way. If possible, can you list step by step instructions or a link to an easy to use website. Thanks.

    The above issue might occur due to incompatibility of the program with the update installed on the computer.



    Before we assist further, which is the “older program” you are referring to in the above description?

    Step 2: You can also follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.




    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard and type
      Run programs made for previous versions of Windows.

    • Select the top most search result and follow from
      step 2
      from the article Make older programs compatible with this version of
      Windows
      (Also applies to Windows 10).

    • Check if the changes are effective.

    An older version of PowerShell is installed in my PC

    PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

    Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

    Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:
