You must have something very wrong; neither Windows Powershell nor Powershell 7 takes 30s to launch.
But anyway, for a quick calc, is there anything faster than Spotlight (for mac)/Gnome shell (for linux)/Powertoys Run (for windows)? Instead of app name you are going to launch, just punch in your expression.
- majkinetor 6y agoProbably very slow disk (VM?) or Windows Defender ? Or too much modules ?
- jermaustin1 6y agoAll this time I've been launching calculator and I could have just done it in spotlight... Why don't they tell you that after you've launched calculator for the 20th time in an hour.
- Narishma 6y agoNot the person you responded to but I have the same experience with Powershell as them. I just checked again to be sure and it takes 20s to start and become usable on my laptop. CMD.EXE, in comparison, starts instantly.
- Shared404 6y agoI'll be the next to confirm this, and on multiple machines. Maybe 1 in 5 that I try will be a reasonable startup time.
- vetinari 6y agoThat's interesting, it seems quite widespread. I'm getting 1-2s on my machines, both just plain powershell and powershell inside windows terminal. No enterprise crap running though, just Defender.
- Shared404 6y agoIt got bad enough I wrote a (now unused) script in batch instead of Powershell. Also having to explicitly enable scripting for each machine was a pain, though understandable.
