Search Box Not Working

I just tried it here along with a dozen or so powershell commands.

You can see the "PS" next to c:\windows\system32 on the last line.

At that point, it's ready to accept powershell commands.

What did your CMD screen do when you typed "powershell" into it?

Oh actually I think your method would have worked. I just assumed it would try to open another window. I already initiated another upgrade to fix the powershell window itself not opening up.
 
Just learned something. I did not know you could run PowerShell from within the command prompt but that works. I tried the other way around too and you can run a command prompt from within PowerShell too.

Anyway, I was going to say for CMD to select "Run as administrator".
 
It may not now. I just automatically run as administrator because many things cannot be done via the command prompt unless run as administrator.

That is how I've always run powershell - via CMD screen!

Running CMD "as Administrator" to then run powershell is a good idea in the event that files from \windows or certain other protected directories is needed and your admin user account may not have the proper perms that the "super admin/hidden admin" user account does, which is accessible by running *whatever* "as Administrator".

Hmmm, I always just call up PowerShell. In fact, since I cannot live without the Quicklaunch toolbar (and fortunately it still is available in W10) I have a PowerShell shortcut on my Quicklaunch toolbar.

And BTW, if you use a CMD or PowerShell shortcut, you can edit the shortcut Advanced properties to always run as administrator.
