Happy Sunday. :)

How is/are everyone's systems running? No major complaints here. Some live tiles don't work. Most do, which is puzzling.

Happy Sunday to you too!

No complaints on the system, except for the stuff you mentioned. I have multiple live tiles that should toggle through something, but, nope, nada. Other tiles work really great, especially for the apps that is the usual MS bloatware that gets installed by default. :)

This is for the PowerShell power users:

Download at GitHub, here: Releases · PowerShell/PowerShell · GitHub

Engine updates and fixes

• Fix the issue where PowerShell Core wasn't working on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 (non-R2). (#4463)
• ValidateSetAttribute enhancement: support set values to be dynamically generated from a custom ValidateSetValueGenerator. (#3784) (Thanks to @iSazonov!)
• Disable breaking into debugger on Ctrl+Break when running non-interactively. (#4283) (Thanks to @mwrock!)
• Give error instead of crashing if WSMan client library is not available. (#4387)
• Allow passing $true/$false as a parameter to scripts using powershell.exe -File. (#4178)

• Fix an issue where PowerShell class static methods were being shared across Runspaces/SessionStates. (#4209)

• Make ShellExecuteEx run in a STA thread. (#4362)

General cmdlet updates and fixes

• Add -SkipHeaderValidation switch to Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod to support adding headers without validating the header value. (#4085)

Installer updates

• Create script to install latest PowerShell from Microsoft package repositories (or Homebrew) on non-Windows platforms. (#3608) (Thanks to @DarwinJS!)
• Enable MSI upgrades rather than a side-by-side install. (#4259)
• Add a checkbox to open PowerShell after the Windows MSI installer has finished. (#4203) (Thanks to @bergmeister!)
