The new screen will hold the “Windows Powershell ISE” shortcut. Once you click on the shortcut, it will start the Windows 10 Powershell.

Another way to get to the Windows 10 Powershell application is by using the seach option and searching for “Powershell”. This will show you the “Powershell CMD” shortcut. This does not contain a graphical user interface but it does allow you to run Powershell commands through it.

Make sure that when you are using the PowerShell application that you use the “Administrator” right if needed.
