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?
Maybe, it definitely takes GIFs.
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.
Yeah, that's nothing like what I normally see.
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.

Open and Type
and elevated permissions
@scottalanmiller you're insane.
-
Six seconds is "fast" for you? Compare to any other shell.
-
Like I said, maybe it is that Windows users have a different expectation of their machines and I'm just expecting it to be better than it often is.
-
@scottalanmiller watch the first video.
What are you counting that is 6 seconds? Me opening powershell?

I watched the video, you clicked on the app, and it wasn't usable for over six seconds.

Because I chose to click it, I could've easily just tapped enter and been typing away at powershell.

@dustinb3403 What does this mean? If you open powershell by hitting Enter it opens faster than clicking on taskbar?

No, Scott is counting the seconds I took to move my cursor to the start menu to click on powershell as the "6 seconds it's unusable".
He isn't counting the time when the program is open and is usable.

I counted from teh time you clicked to open it, until the cursor was available. Six seconds, on teh nose.
-
@momurda Which I specifically asked him where is he counting this delay and my question was never answered.
The issue is "Scott" and not using windows. Not the performance of Windows to open powershell.
Given a more performant computer system powershell might even open more quickly, and if I optimized my actions to launching the program.

@dustinb3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@momurda Which I specifically asked him where is he counting this delay and my question was never answered.
Yeah, I answered. From the time you click to open, till the app is working. Six seconds. The only thing any sane person would count. The screen going black is when it is usable.

So you counted the 6 seconds that I took to type in my Admin credentials to open an administrative version of powershell!
I specifically told you there are 2 videos. One with admin credentials used to launch (where there is the 6 second black screen) and the one without admin credentials!

What are you talking about" You clicked, there was nothing, then eventually it opened.

Because the recording software doesn't capture the UAC prompt. . . my god man!

Are you saying that the black screen there is something going on waiting for you that we can't see? If so, you should say that. because it looks like wea re just waiting for PS to open.

Well taht's just stupid, and if you knew that, you should have said that. It just looks like the standard six second delay.
