New blog post series! 📰 Everything wrong with MSIX, starting with how it cannot be used in a system context, such as system services. This affects WinGet, PowerShell, and a lot of other software 👇💻 awakecoding.com/posts/everyt...

Everything Wrong with MSIX: No System Context

PowerShell's MSI deprecation exposes the problem with treating MSIX like a better MSI: user-registered packages can disappear from SYSTEM, breaking services, scheduled tasks, remoting, and automation.

Awesome Copilot has a #PowerShell instructions file for use with #AI agents. Are there other ones available as well that are more comprehensive? For example, covering more of what's described by PSScriptAnalyzer or by the community?

Was anybody else using #AIShell before it was deprecated at the end of January? Will you be replacing it with another #AI powered chat tool that isn't project based (e.g., #Claude Code CLI, GitHub #Copilot CLI)? #PowerShell github.com/powershell/a...

With the announcement that Polyglot Notebooks is being retired at the end of March, I sure am thankful for @harmveenstra.bsky.social and his blog post on adding a custom PowerShell kernel for use with the Jupyter notebook extension in VS Code. aka.ms/pgnb-dep

🚨 Breaking change in Invoke-WebRequest that could impact your automations. I wrote a helper script to find where Invoke-WebRequest is and isn't using -UseBasicParsing. It also works for any other cmdlets/parameters combo. gist.github.com/mdowst/9d00f... #PowerShell #Automation #Scripting #DevOps

What are you using for #PowerShell module scaffolding? Seems that most tools that I have found are in need of some TLC. What am I missing?

The internet is really great sometimes 💖 Thanks to @jsnover.com on Reddit 10 years ago, I was able to solve a #PowerShell problem while following @kevmar.bsky.social amazing article on handling errors that now lives on #MicrosoftLearn 🤯 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers...

A screenshot of a Reddit post comment by /u/jsnover that says:

This seems to be telling you that $PSCMdlet is null. That would happen if you are using a function vs an Advanced Function

Try adding a [CmdletBinding()] directive.

I love newer versions of #PowerShell, but I still regularly have to support #Windows PowerShell because that's the default shell for systems like #SCCM and #Intune. How can I take advantage of the new PowerShell other than executing scripts with pwsh.exe and the -File or -Command parameters?

Why do I have issues using the #Exchange Online #PowerShell module (v3.7.1) when I use a wildcard for the cmdlet within $PSDefaultParameterValues? I'm able to connect, but my permission scopes are wrong and I can only see my own mailbox.

@funbucket.dev is it possible to use PSHelp.Copilot for large modules like Az or Microsoft Graph without having to specify each of their dependent modules? I’d like to be able to ask questions that might span more than one of the smaller modules

"If you type help, PowerShell first looks for an alias named help, then a function named Help, and finally a cmdlet named Help. It runs the first help item that it finds. If your session contains a cmdlet and a function, both named Get-Map, when you type Get-Map, PowerShell runs the function."
