- PowerShell 2.0 is taken from the last construction of Windows 11 initiates
- Versions 5.1 and 7.x are the best replacements
- No word on the deletion of Windows Server
Microsoft has confirmed that PowerShell 2.0 is officially deleted from Windows, starting with the latest Windows 11 initiate constructions – Build 27891 (Canary Canal).
The news comes eight years after PowerShell 2.0 was obsolete in 2017 due to delays related to dependence (for example the oldest SQL Server versions), but Microsoft has retained compatibility back to facilitate the transition.
This does not mean that PowerShell has been entirely left – instead, users will be directed to version 5.1 (which is preinstalled on most modern Windows editions) or 7.x (which offer a multiplatform medium).
PowerShell 2.0 finally moves away for more recent versions
To recall the duration of PowerShell 2.0, it was originally dispatched with Windows 7, Vista and XP, as well as Server 2003 and 2008. Although it is set to be deleted with the latest version of Windows 11, Microsoft has not yet shared it from Windows Server.
“More information will be shared in the coming months on the deletion of Windows PowerShell 2.0 in a next update for Windows 11,” wrote Windows Insider Amanda Langowski and the main product manager Brandon Lebland in a blog article.
The deletion of PowerShell 2.0 is the biggest update to come in the upcoming versions of Windows 11, but Build 27891 also includes fixes to the “ reset this PC ”, the acrylic rendering of the taskbar, non -English characters (such as Vietnamese and Arabic) and other bugs, including Windows update 2% on certain devices.
Redmond has also recognized certain problems with the update, including a Hello Windows pin and a biometric problem on Copilot + PC and rendering problems for remote desktop computers on Arm64 machines.
In the meantime, users who want a more reliable operating system can leave the Canari channel by installing a new copy of Windows 11.
