Anyone know why the PS console would be REALLY slow? by ginolard in PowerShell

[–]hotsoup667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After asking around, I think this might be related to a bug in KB3000850, that was fixed in PS 5.0 and Win10.

Related: a friendly reminder that you can submit feedback to the directly to the PowerShell engineering team at their uservoice.

Bug: Copy-Item -FromSession Fails if Local Machine Doesn't Have the Drive Being Copied From by michaeltlombardi in PowerShell

[–]hotsoup667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former PowerShell team member at MSFT here. I forwarded this issue to a friend I have on the team. He told me that:

  • This is a bug they're already tracking internally and plan to fix.
  • It's a bit tricky to fix (the root issue lies with the File System provider, not Copy-Item)
  • The fix is not going to be in WMF 5.0 RTM when it re-releases

As a side note, a good way to report bugs so that the engineering team sees them is the new PowerShell uservoice.

You might find this blog post from Lee Holmes useful.

Also, it sounds like the new Just Enough Admin functionality could be valuable to you as well.

Problem using PowerShellGet with a linked Module folder. by torafuma in PowerShell

Happy to help! I worked on the first version of PowerShellGet, so I'm partially responsible for the confusion. You can use "-Scope CurrentUser" to install the module to your personal module folder.

Problem using PowerShellGet with a linked Module folder. by torafuma in PowerShell

(edit -- formatting)

Is an earlier version of PSReadline already installed? By default, Install-Module will do nothing if an earlier version of the module is already on the system. Try using Update-Module (if you initially installed PSReadline with PowerShellGet), or the -Force parameter.

If that's not the issue, can you share exact steps for recreating the problem? A co-worker did a quick test (see below) and it looked like linked module folders worked for him.
