@scottalanmiller Yes powershell for me opens slowly sometimes. The window opens but i cant type anything for 5 seconds.

Yes, that's what I normally see. 3-8 seconds of delay before the window lets me type. I also often see it slow after it opens with individual keystrokes being really slow.

@scottalanmiller Is the slowness you're complaining about the time it takes the powershell window to appear, or the time it takes to allow you to type?

Time to type, appearance is "always" immediate.

@scottalanmiller I've seen it slow on Server 2016 before (along with doing Windows updates). It's artifically slow where I work because of some random GPO that will eventually be killed. It's speedy on my home box, but that's 32 GB beast with an SSD.

3-5 seconds to open on any server or desktop I've worked on; definitely not "instant" but not "slow" either.

That's what I call "really slow." Whcih might be a lot of the issue, I'd like it fast like CMD.EXE or Bash.

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)?

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.

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

My laptop and every server I connect to.

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?

Here Scott, I just did a screen capture for you. Where's a good place to upload it? Will IMGUR take mp4s?

Eh... Here's a youtube link. Make sure you set it for 1080P...https://youtu.be/bO91xJR6Xs8

You'll see I have no powershell processes running, and it opens in a second.

Do you have any scripts that run when you open PowerShell? I have a couple of small ones.

Definitely not. Not in the marjority of cases, anyway. Certainly might somewhere.

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

Dustin made a video for me. Over six seconds to open, which I think is extremely slow. Slow enough that you wonder if things are broken, slow enough that you start to forget why you were opening it. Definitely slow enough that it is not like other applications such as CMD.

Just busily creating aliases and DL on Zimbra

Hopefully a new toilet getting installed today.
