Context menu now has "Powershell" instead of "Command Prompt"

So I updated to the CU over a week ago, and I noticed an odd change. The "Open command prompt here" option in the shift+right-click context menu has been replaced by "Open Windows Powershell here" instead. Powershell does not work with the apps I use (for example, an RPA extractor, Powershell just gives an error). How do I revert this change?

It's changed from Command Prompt to Powershell on a right-click on Start too. There's a switch for 'replace Command Prompt with Windows Powershell...' in:
Settings > Personalization > Taskbar

The switch has always been there, the default setting changed for the Creators Update. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to change the context menu.

Did you try rebooting after making the change?

Bree said:

Yes, it doesn't change that - I've edited my post to say so.

There is also a way to change it using your registry, Brink posted 2 different methods ....I posted the link a couple msgs back

Yep, just about .. :)

Wow, you guys are fast! Thanks, I will try that and report back.

EDIT: It worked! No need to reboot, either. Funny that the Powershell option is still there, but meh.
