    Great! It works, is automagically translated and even shows a little leading "C:" Command Prompt-Icon. Nice!

    Thank you.
    It uses special alien technology.

    How would I modify the registry file to have both command prompt and powershell on the Win+X menu?

    This option only allows either one, but not both at the same time.

    However, as a workaround, you could use the method in the tutorial below to add a custom shortcut of either one to the Win+X menu.

    Got it. The HashLnk hasn't been updated in quite some time. I am assuming it still works correctly and correctly creates hashed shortcuts for the Win+X menu?

    Yes, HashLnk should still work.

    To have both command prompt and powershell on the Win+X menu in windows 10 1909 I had to copy cmd.exe as command.exe and make a custom shortcut of this new file.

    Well, it worked on Powershell but now when I click on a link on a web page it doesn't open that link, nothing happens.
