Starting with Windows 10 Insiders Build 17711, changes have been made to inbox Windows PowerShell modules to add compatibility with PowerShell Core 6. With the Preview.4 release of PowerShell Core 6.1 you can use some Windows PowerShell modules without additional work.
Get-Module -ListAvailable
# shows modules from:
# - $env:UserProfile\Documents\PowerShell\Modules
# - $env:ProgramFiles\PowerShell\Modules
# - $env:WinDir\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules
Specifically, modules that have some level of validation will have the CompatiblePSEditions
property in its module manifest include Core
which enables it to show up automatically.
Over time, we expect many more inbox Windows PowerShell modules to be converted to be compatible and have their CompatiblePSEditions
property updated.
This repo is for the purpose of tracking user found issues where a module is not working as expected compared to Windows PowerShell 5.1. Even with modules that are marked as compatible with PowerShell Core 6.1, you may find some issues that were not discovered as part of our validation. Please see if an existing issue exists in this repo and give it a 👍 to vote up its priority. If no issue exists, please open one so that we know about it.
