Hi Shawn:
I've recently updated Powershell to version 7.3.3. However, I seem to have 2 or 3 versions of Powershell. How can I remove the older versions without screwing up the latest version? Here's what I see when I press Win+X:
The only one I need is the bottom one.
As always, thank you in advance.
Hello Phil,
Unfortunately, the built-in PowerShell and PowerShell 7.xx are separate apps.
While you can't uninstall the built-in PowerShell, you could do one or more of the following that may help:
Show command prompt instead of Windows PowerShell on Win+X menu
Remove it from the Win+X menu.
I used your second option & it worked perfectly!! Thank you. 👍Hello Phil,

PS 7 is optional, and was written to work side-by-side with PS 5.1 -- it's not a direct replacement.
Just like Windows can have several .NET or Visual C++ run-time libraries installed for apps that need them. You can use either PowerShell, unless you know a script is written for version 6 or later.
