    powershell help does not seem to work

    Thanks for response.
    I have done chkdsk C: /f also.
    still not working. I tried your suggestion also. That also does not work.
    But as I said get-help dir works. Please see below

    Dir cmd arguments not working

    Hi Mike, the Dir command will work in Powershell, but it will not work with the w switch in powershell, that switch will only work in Command Prompt

    Click your Start Button, type cmd, then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    In the application the dir /w command will work . . .

    sudo dir not working powershell

    Command-line shells, commands like dir /p not working but dir does work

    Hi Rick.

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    The dir command works in PowerShell, the dir command with switches like /p does not work in PowerShell, run that command in Command Prompt and it will work.
