Do you have something custom going on in powershell? I’m not a power user of windows shells but it opens very quickly for me. So much so that I never thought about the speed of either terminal.
- userbinator 8y ago"very quickly" is subjective, but compared to cmd it is noticeably slower even in a fresh install of Windows --- the few times I'm forced to actually use it to configure some things.
- Tarean 8y agoI think powershell is kept in memory so only the first start should be slow. Although I don't really notice the first start being slower anymore - maybe it preloads depending on settings or is just fast enough with an ssd?
- ygra 8y agoWindows picks up usage patterns and pre-loads applications to match that. But indeed, right after launching an application it's still in the disk cache anyway, so subsequent launches (until heavy I/O) should be quick.
- Catfishfinger 8y agoThis makes sense, I use Powershell all the time, have loads of PS modules installed and it opens pretty much instantly.
