PowerShell is a powerful tool that can be used to manage your systems. One of the most important things you can do with PowerShell is to check the version of the PowerShell cmdlets. To do this, you can use the Get-Command cmdlet. This cmdlet returns a list of all the commands that are installed on your computer. You can then use this list to find out which PowerShell cmdlets are currently running. To check the version of PowerShell on Windows 10, you first need to open an elevated command prompt and type: Get-Command -Version This will return a list of all the commands that are installed on your computer. You can then use this list to find out which PowerShell cmdlets are currently running. The first command in this list is Get-Command -Version. This command will return a value of 33554432000 (3 million). The next command in this list is Get-Command -Version2. This command will return a value of 4194304 (4 billion). The last command in this list is Get-Command -Version3. Thiscommand will return a value of 514400000 (5 billion).
PowerShell, like Command Prompt before it, is an incredibly useful tool. We don’t usually think about it, but things like PowerShell do get bug fixes and new features over time. Here is how you can check your PowerShell version on Windows 11.
How to Check Your PowerShell Version
You only need a single command to check your PowerShell version. Open up a new Terminal window and make sure that you have a PowerShell tab open.
Type or paste $PSVersionTable into the prompt and hit Enter. You’ll see something very similar to the image below, though your version numbers could very well be different.
The PowerShell in this example is fairly out of date — it is version 5.1.22, and the latest stable release at the time of writing is version 7.2.6.
Microsoft maintains a change log on GitHub that details what bug fixes and features are added with each new release. Luckily, updating PowerShell on Windows 11 is as easy as it gets, so you don’t have to worry about a hassle to get the latest features.
