It works when it works but when it doesn't it is a pain. I recently was looking at doing some backup software in Powershell for Windows 10 and 11. My chosen method was to use a VHDX file (Windows backup does this). Now in powershell there are commands to create a VHD or VHDX file but they are tied to the Hyper-V package in Windows being installed. In Windows 11 this package has been totally removed and can no longer be downloaded or installed. So next I tried to find another way to use VHDX files in Windows 11 from Powershell. So I discovered that the diskpart command line utility can create/attach/partition etc VHDX files. Diskpart however is not integrated into powershell. In order to use it you need to create a text file with the commands to run. Execute diskpart with that text file. Then you have to search the text output for the results. At this point I felt like I should have been using a Unix shell anyway.
