[QUOTE="509322, post: 704516"] [USER=37647]@shmu26[/USER] Windows uses cmd.exe to update Windows; Average Joe is clueless about what anything is doing. An advanced user can get away with disabling cmd.exe, but it will be more convenient simply to disable .bat and .cmd in User Space and have cmd.exe run with limited privileges. [USER=50782]@Windows_Security[/USER] In the vast majority of cases Windows 10 still uses cmd.exe; PowerShell is only used heavily in certain commercial\enterprise environments by IT admins and not by Windows itself. I have no idea why Microsoft chose to replace cmd with PowerShell in the WIN + X menu because cmd.exe is still the go-to choice for the vast majority of home users. Average Joe is just a spectator in all of this. PowerShell should be disabled by home users if they do not need it. [/QUOTE]
