Windows 10: PowerShell task?

Yo guys I can't get any further.

• The user specifies the name of a file to be archived.
• The program checks whether the file exists. If no, an error message is displayed and the program is terminated.
• The user specifies the target directory in which the file is to be archived.
• The program checks whether the target directory exists. If No, an error message is displayed and the program is terminated.
• The program checks the archive bit of the file. If it is set, the copy process is triggered and a completion message is issued. If the archive bit is not set, the program issues a message that the file does not need to be archived.

What I have: (Vlt. completely wrong)

# Description: Archiving viruses of a specific file

# Restrict programming mode

set-psdebug -strict

set-strictmode -version latest

#Variable declaration

[string]$filename = ""

[string]$Target path = ""

#Enter

[string]$Filename = Read-Host "Input of the filename"

[string]$Target path = Read-Host "Input of the target path

#Processing (I can't get any further here)

if{ -eq true

}

set-itemproperty $Filename -Name Attributes -Value "Archive

#Output

#End

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:

 

PowerShell randomly poping-up in tool bar

Hello,

Just to verify, do you have any scheduled tasks that uses Powershell? Scheduled tasks makes Powershell window appear periodically on your computer, therefore we suggest that you check the Task Scheduler. Here are the steps:

• Click on Start.
• In the search bar, type Task Scheduler and click on
  
  Task Scheduler in the results.
• Under Active Tasks, check for any tasks that use Powershell and the scheduled time.

If the issue still persist, we suggest that you run a Windows Defender scan to see if it will pick up any malware that the first scan missed.

Let us know the outcome.

 

How to change the WinX menu, including Powershell/Powershell (Admin)

This part intrigues me. As suggested earler, please post a screenshot of the error message. Also, please clarify/test the follwoing:

1. Can you start PowerShell from the Start Menu?
2. If you navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3, does PowerShell launch from the shortcuts there?
3. If #1 works & #2 doesn't, compare (& post) the target text from each shortcuts properties. For the Start Menu shortcut, right-click & select Open file location to navigate to the Start Menu folder.
