On Windows 11 (and Windows 10), PowerShell is a powerful command-line interface designed to run commands and scripts that automate tasks and manage system settings. While it serves a similar purpose to Command Prompt, PowerShell is significantly more capable, offering advanced scripting, automation, and system management features. Unlike Command Prompt, PowerShell is also cross-platform, available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
A PowerShell script is a text file containing a sequence of commands that PowerShell can execute in order. These files use the .ps1 extension and allow you to automate repetitive tasks, configure system settings, and perform complex operations with a single command.
