Windows 10, Powershell' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Question

Dear,

I have the following problem: I use several scripts in CMD (batch) that calling Powershell into the CMD, using "powershell -command".

I noticed that some stations here in the company have the version of Windows 10 (10.0.10586), and others with the version of Windows 10 (10.0.10240).

In version (10.0.10240), the version of Powershell is 5.0.10240.16384, while in Windows 10 (10.0.10586), the version of Powershell is PSVersion 5.0.10586.122, and this is the version that does not run command.

I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade Powershell 5.0.10586.122 to 5.0.10240.16384 version.

An exemple of command is:

powershell -command "invoke..." or powershell -command "get-object..."

Regards,

Well testing on 1058.494, so the latest cumulative update, works fine for me. So would not appear to me related to powershell version related to me.

So does powershell work in a command prompt outside the batch file?

Is the path showing powershell on the path ok?

Hello Mr,

See my test with on 10586 version. My original language is Portuguese/BR:

But I found a way to around this issue. We can use the "start /b" command before the 'powershell' command:

Thank you!
