How do people use PowerShell? Just opening it takes so long I forget why I was opening it!
Like @dafyre - I don't seem to have this issue. But then again, I am on a Windows machine. Could it be a Linux issue (of sorts)?
Literally just had this happen with @pchiodo looking over my shoulder. Took more than a minute for PS to open on a Windows 10 machine, which seems totally normal.

It's FAR worse on Windows than on Linux. Like 10x longer, maybe?
Maybe Windows users are just used to things being so slow that they don't notice?

I'd wager you have something going on on that system. I click the Powershell icon and start typing.

Meetings, until probably about 10:30 at least.

Multiple users, every machine. Gene says he doesn't see it, but it's happening on machines he uses every day using the same accounts.

Find me a system where it is fast. I've never seen PS come up quickly, never once.

I remote into various computers daily. and I almost always open powershell as admin to run something. i never wait for it.

I beth that would be great for side scrolling through multi track audio when editing. Or doing video in an NLE.

Can you video that? I've never seen it, literally, never. How are you getting it to be fast? Or do we have totally different definitions of fast?

Same, I don't wait for powershell. It launches just fine. My gripe with it is the need to create a separate prompt with admin credentials rather than being able to su into it.

You honestly don't believe us that powershell can open quickly?

Yes, but define "don't wait". I've had people on this thread say that it is fast when I know for a fact it is dog slow for them. So clearly it must be that my expectations of fast are different than most people. I assume that Windows users are conditioned to the delay at this point and no longer notice it happening.

I honestly do not. I think it is far more likely that you have a higher tolerance for slowness and see what I see as a delay as "normal".
