Do you find that PowerShell is now replacing Command Prompt in the new versions of Windows 10? In Windows 8 and the old version of Windows 10, Command Prompt is included by default in the menu when you press Win key + X or right-click on the Windows button, which helps you quickly launch Command Prompt. However, starting with Windows 10 Creators Update, you will find that Windows PowerShell replaces Command Prompt. Actually, many default system settings can be changed on the basis of the user’s preference. If you now want to change the command shell that appears in the Windows + X menu, follow this post. It will show you how to replace Windows PowerShell with Command Prompt in the Win + X menu.
