A few updates as people have mentioned: • Though Powershell ISE comes pre-installed, it is no longer in active feature development. Instead it's officially recommended to use Visual Studio Code with the Powershell Extension • Turns out the .NET "Core" name was simply dropped, and it's now just called .NET (though from my understanding, it is still a subset of the overall ".NET Framework")

[@Marfig]

It's no longer a subset. The reason the Core moniker was dropped was exactly to stop conveying this idea which was true during the Core development days. The .Net Framework is no longer being developed, and the last long-release version (.Net Framework 4.8) is only receiving maintenance patches. .Net is now the sole framework development trunk. It started at version 5, exactly to promote the idea of continuity. It's a tragicomedy the overly complicated way many companies these days handle their product development versioning schema.

2 days ago, this mess was struggling in my head now you've uploaded this, what a time

[@Graham6410]

I normally use it in the same way I used Command Prompt, but also use the ISE to make a script that can automate some of those tasks.

[@vertigo1055]

I am glad this video was made because when my PC starts I run a PS Script that sets up what I will be doing at least for the first few hours of my morning. I also have another Script I enable when I know ahead of time that say I'll be gaming all day so it stops a LOT of unnecessary processing that would normally run in the background from applications like Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft Notepad, etc.. I'll definitely take a look at the changes and see if I can optimize some of it or it it's just as efficient without let it continue to do the thing with the funny characters I type on the picture box I sit in front of for 18 hours a day ...lmao.

It's neither. Dotnet framework has things that are missing from dotnet core and vice versa.

There are fewer differences between pwsh (PowerShell 7) on Windows and Linux than there are between pwsh and PowerShell, a lot of the Windows exclusive stuff, mainly WMI objects has been stripped

[@henryfleischer404]

Ah, that explains a lot... I was having trouble settling up something that said I should use Powershell 7, as I ignored that, assuming that I had the latest version. Because that's how Windows 10 normally works.

[@laurensholthof]

How do I get the old gui directory indicator? For me it just says PS C:\Users without the fancy graphics. Back when it didn't open in windows terminal it still had it but now it's gone

[@pyp2205]

Ah yes PowerShell and PowerShell Core! I switched to PowerShell core, because it's overall better than the old legacy version.

[@walkingradiance9556]

I installed Powershell 7. Is there a way to tell if a program will require administrator privileges and escalation or not? For example, some programs executables and msi files require administrator priviles to run and others do not. For example Google Chrome's msi can install Chrome without administrator privileges. Is there a way to evaluate whether Chrome can be installed on a computer by analyzing the msi file for example?

[@Woodzta]

Maybe a developer would be better to answer this but I think that's a bit more complicated than a first glance at the file. I'm pretty sure it can be compiled as a user based install and only target user-accessible folders like AppData. I'm thinking that once it wants to target root:\Program Files*, it's going to need admin regardless.

[@gotbordercollies]

I don't have the upgrade option displayed. Is there another way to do the upgrade ?

@ThioJoe I love your videos, they are all so informative and useful. I would like to make one suggestion though. If you are talking about some software that could be/needs to be downloaded it would be helpful to put the links to where to download the software in your video description box. That being said, where can I download Powershell core or any of the other versions? Additionally could you do a video about how to set up the Powershell window so that it doesn't just look like the command prompt? For example, the blue background, plus any sorts of side panels that might give any sort of line numbering or formatting types of things. When I open my Powershell it looks just like the command prompt with black background and white text.

I love to know if anyone uses PowerShell on Linux and what their experiences with it are like.

[@dekrain]

I've used it on Linux a bit, but mostly for stuff related to .NET itself, rather than everyday tasks. But it has some nice things to it

[@anon_y_mousse]

@@dekrain I'd assume that means you use it to run build scripts for various .net projects. But does it provide anything over and above bash or any other Linux based shell?

[@dekrain]

@@anon_y_mousse and by .NET stuff I meant working with .NET objects, reflection, etc. Powershell doesn't by default have rich completion for different programs (but maybe that can be changed?) and can be a bit slow at times, but it could be a good candidate for text processing, batch processing, and other things.

[@anon_y_mousse]

@@dekrain So using it to make tiny glue programs then to automate various tasks? Like using dialog with bash? And yeah, rich completion is pretty cool. I often forget how to spell various long switches with wget and rich completion is a godsend.

Hi ThioJoe I watch a video on PIA VPN you did, in which you recommended it and for that reason alone I began using it. My question is why did you recommend it. When I turn it on and use it I can not stream some services like Netflix or Amazon Prime. For that reason alone I would not recommend it. Another reason is that I have notified PIA of my problem and it has not been fix, only getting the response that it is my fault.

I have the PowerShellPreview, Being honest i just install it because it was purple :v and with the nerdfont the winfetch and the oh my posh looks really nice....

[@isaacqadri]

just what I wanted.

[@Woodzta]

To be honest, I hate the confusing mess they've made with this. My work laptop with ISE has a bunch of scripts open in its session that I need to move, a separate Powershell 7 install that isn't even fully compatible with all of my existing modules, and VS Code which is incredibly sluggish compared to the aforementioned. Better yet, we use folder redirection in our DDP GPO, so for every command, IntelliSense, or every little trigger, I have to wait for it to scan UNC shares because I cannot remove the default Documents PSModulePath (workaround for me is running a script to manually set the path for every launch and even periodically). We've been waiting years to even get the option of removing PSModulePath out of the Documents folder.

[@NickRoman]

Yep, today I just noticed that apparently installing Powershell 7 updated .Net to 7 (??). In any case, the newer version of .Net removed some method from a system class and that broke an important component underlying much of my code base. So, I'm just trying to work here. That kind of thing is indeed undesirable.

[@insertaghere]

Does thio make serious videos now? I swear I remember some of his older videos being about how to downlaod more RAM

[@mega_gamer93]

Yes. I believe he even made an apology video for his old videos

[@Woodzta]

Yeah I think you're roughly 2-3 years late at this point. There's been some cool stuff covered. Pretty sure he did a joke video in the middle of it also as a throwback.

[@toraxmalu]

The ISE is replaced by Visual Code Studio…

[@Woodzta]

Maybe I'm being picky but it's a bit of a stretch to say 'replaced by'. They were both in development simultaneously and they stopped development for ISE. It is still being included and they don't intend on removing it.

[@LarcR]

Not that Microsoft has made PowerShell the least bit confusing or has been anything but totally consistent with it. 😉

The Powershell ISE is, as far as I know, discontinued (without any replacement)

You can't. The closest you can get to is tp use the windows port of the GNU coreutils and just various ports of common linux software but you can't run native linux software. Most common linux software is free (as in freedom) though, so chances of a windows port are pretty high and if there isn't you can make one yourself
