Замена powershell на cmd windows 10

Валентина: после последних обновлений почему-то в контекстных меню пропала возможность быстрого доступа и запуска Windows PowerShell (имею в виду Win X). У меня такой вопрос: есть ли какой-то не очень сложный способ поменять командную строку на более привычную для меня PowerShell: Вообще, где отыскать такие настройки, или опции…

Иногда приключаются некоторые закавыки, которые нарушают привычную работу за компьютером. Частенько все это происходит, конечно же, и из-за обновлений, либо (что тоже нередко) по вине самого пользователя (когда тот изменил настройки ОС и подзабыл о них…).

Сегодня доподлинно разберемся, каким образом заменить Windows PowerShell на Командную строку и наоборот?

заменить командную строку на PowerShell и наоборот — Windows 10

Если у нас активна оболочка PowerShell, тогда дела в контекстных меню будут обстоять так, как показано на картинке ниже, а значит запустить полезную утилиту PowerShell будет очень просто:

а) запустить PowerShell возможно так (НЕ от администратора) — нажимаем кнопку на клавиатуре Shift и на пустом месте рабочего стола вызываем контекстное меню (клик правой клавишей мыши).

либо: кликаем одновременно по кнопкам Win + X (коричневая стрелка на картинке ниже) (полезные горячие клавиши
В статье будет дан список наиболее распространённых комбинаций клавиш компьютера (так называемых — Горячих клавиш) — те используются для быстрого доступа к определённым инструментам той или другой системной программы, да и самой Виндовс. Также рассмотрим важные запросы (команды) к ОС Windows через Командную строку для более эффективной работы на компьютере).

Откроется, такое меню (его еще называют Win X). Как видим, в опциях есть два варианта запустить, в данном случае, Windows PowerShell — стандартный запуск, и от имени Администратора, что в большинстве случаев предпочтительнее…

как заменить Windows PowerShell на Командную строку (cmd)

Чтоб заменить в контекстном меню рабочего стола (и при горячем клике Win + X) на Командную строку (cmd) поступаем таким нехитрым образом:

а) наводим курсор в трее (панель инструментов) на пустое место /коричневая стрелка/и нажимаем правую клавишу мыши…

…откроется такое вспомогательное меню Панели инструментов):

Переходим в меню Параметры, а именно в этом случае войдем в нужный нам конкретный раздел опций Параметры панели задач.

Запустится консоль Параметры. Что нам в нем нужно поправить…

…только и останется сделать, чтобы изменить оболочку Windows PowerShell на Командную строку (либо наоборот), так это то, что перевести радиокнопку в требуемое состояние: вправо или влево (на картинке выше обведено).

Например, мы хотим, чтоб обновленная оболочка Windows PowerShell в контекстных меню (для быстрого запуска) была заменена на Командную строку (cmd), переводим кнопку Влево (не в активное состояние), т.е. отключаем PowerShell.

Получится такая картинка…

заменяем командную строку на PowerShell в Windows 10

…ну и как понимаете, чтобы, соответственно, заменить командную строку на PowerShell в Windows 10 потребуется совершить все описанные шаги выше — как говорится, от обратного.

как эпилог высказанному:

Теперь вы можете работать с Командной строкой прямо из контекстных меню: Win + X или меню рабочего стола. А уж с каким из инструментов ОС Windows (PowerShell или командной строкой) предпочтительнее для вас работать, придется выбирать лично!.. Советы, в данном случае, излишни.

Оба инструмента призваны решать по сути одни и те же задачи. PowerShell считается наиболее продвинутым, современным, а потому несколько обширнее возможности.

Путь до необходимых опций: Win + I / Параметры / Персонализация / Панель задач

Напоминаю, для большинства запросов (команд) правильнее всего запускать Командную строку (да и Windows PowerShell) от имени Администратора! НЕ забывайте..!

Желаю вам всяческих успехов..! и, конечно же, читайте наш сайт Комплитра.

Windows PowerShell is the new avatar of the Command Prompt with lots of new features and capabilities. With the Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft replaced CMD with PowerShell. If you are unable to find the option to launch the Command Prompt from the Power User Menu and the Context menu, there are a couple of ways to make things right. In this tutorial, see how we can replace PowerShell with Command Prompt in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

There are more than 18 ways to open the Command Prompt in Windows 10. However, we’ll discuss only 2 of them here. We’ll check out the easy way to replace PowerShell with Command Prompt from Windows settings. In case you want to learn how to open the Command Prompt instead of PowerShell in a folder, you can make changes to the Registry Editor to replace PowerShell with CMD in the Windows context menu.

This tip to replace PowerShell with the Command Prompt in the Power User Menu works only in Windows 10. You can follow the quick steps given below to bring back the Command Prompt in the Power User Menu on your Windows PC.

1. Click Start (Windows logo icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen) and choose Settings.
2. Next, click Personalization. You can directly access the personalization menu by doing a right-click on the desktop screen and selecting the Personalize option.
3. Now click Taskbar on the left panel in the Settings window.
4. After that, click the toggle button below ‘Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell in the menu when I right-click the start button or press Windows Logo Key + X‘ on the right panel.

Once you have done that the 2 options to open Powershell in the Power User Menu will be replaced by Command Prompt and Command Prompt (Admin) respectively as shown below.

2. Replace PowerShell with CMD in File Explorer

If you want to open Command Prompt instead of PowerShell in a folder or File Explorer, you’ll need to replace PowerShell with CMD in the right-click Context Menu on your Windows 10 or 11 PC. We can do some tweaks to the Registry Editor to make this happen. Let’s begin.

1. Press the Windows Logo key on your keyboard, look for the Notepad++ app in the Start menu and open it.
2. Now, copy the following code and paste it into the empty Notepad file.

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmdprompt]
   @="@shell32.dll,-8506"
   "Extended"=""
   "NoWorkingDirectory"=""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmdprompt\command]
   @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmdprompt]
   @="@shell32.dll,-8506"
   "Extended"=""
   "NoWorkingDirectory"=""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmdprompt\command]
   @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmdprompt]
   @="@shell32.dll,-8506"
   "Extended"=""
   "NoWorkingDirectory"=""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmdprompt\command]
   @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

3. Click File and choose the Save As… option.
4. When you click the Save As… option, you’ll be prompted to assign a file name and type. Click the File name section and type ‘cmdfix.reg‘ as the file name. Then click the drop-down icon in front of the Save as type box and select All Files. Finally, Save the file to your preferred location.
5. Once you have saved the file, navigate to cmdfix.reg and double-click it. When prompted, choose Yes.
6. Next, you’ll see a pop-up window asking if you want to add the new configuration to the registry. Choose Yes.
7. The newly created cmdfix.reg will be added to the registry.

You have successfully replaced PowerShell with CMD in the Windows 10 or 11 right-click context menu. Do not forget to check out our detailed tutorial on customizing the Windows context menu. You should now be able to open the Command Prompt instead of PowerShell in a folder.

Anyway, if you want to undo the changes made by this registry editor tweak anytime later, just paste the following text into a new notepad file.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd2]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmd2]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd2]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibraryFolder\Background\shell\cmd2]

Make sure you name this notepad file as ‘Defaultcmd.reg‘ and select ‘All Files‘ as the file type before saving it. Double-click the file, and select Yes. Don’t forget to restart your computer at this point.

3. Edit Registry Entries to Replace PowerShell with CMD

While the trick we mentioned above should work fine, there’s one more way you can use to replace PowerShell with Command Prompt in Windows 10 and 11. This method involves manually editing the registry entries.

1. Click the Search icon and type “registry” in the text box and click Registry Editor.
2. Alternatively, you can open the Run window by pressing Windows Logo Key + R, and type “regedit” to open Registry Editor.
3. Now, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd.
4. Right-click on the cmd folder and choose Permissions from the context menu.
5. When a small window entitled Permissions for cmd pops up, click the Advanced button.
6.  The Advanced Security Settings window will appear. Click the Change option to change the permission settings for the Owner.
7. In the Select User or Group window, click the Advanced button.
8. In the window that pops up next, click the Find Now button. Then select your user group from the search results and click OK.
9. When you return back to the Advanced Security Settings for cmd window, check the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects option. Then click Apply and OK respectively.
10. Finally, you’ll return to the Permissions for cmd window from where you initially started. Now, select Administrators under Group or user names, and check the Allow box next to Full Control under Permissions for Administrators. Click the Apply button followed by OK.
11. When you come back to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd path in the Registry Editor, right-click on the HideBasedOnVelocityId entry. Choose the Rename option.
12. Rename the entry to ShowBasedOnVelocityId.
13. As soon as the name of the DWORD entry is changed, PowerShell will be replaced by CMD in the right-click menu in Windows 10 or 11 but you will have to restart your PC first.

Done! Now, open a folder and press the Shift key + right-click. You should be able to open Command Prompt instead of PowerShell in a folder. Actually, you’ll have the option to open PowerShell and Command Prompt both in the context menu in the File Explorer.

In case you want to remove the Open PowerShell window here option from the File Explorer context menu do as directed below. The steps are almost the same as you went through a while ago to replace PowerShell with the Command Prompt in the right-click menu.

2. Right-click on PowerShell and then select Permissions from the context menu.
3. Now repeat Steps 5-10 from above.
4. After that, right-click on ShowBasedOnVelocityId and rename it to HideBasedOnVelocityId.
5. The Open Powershell window here option will be removed from the context menu.
6. Reboot your Windows computer to make the changes you made take effect.

In case you want to replace the Command Prompt with PowerShell in the File Explorer right-click menu, follow the quick steps described below.

1. Open the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd.
2. Right-click on ShowBasedOnVelocityld and rename it to HideBasedOnVelocityld.
