When copying large directories (or large single files) it would be nice to have progress available, so I can judge how long it will take. Adding -ShowProgress would be fantastic.

Update-Help doesn't work for some modules because there're >10 redirection on module's given Help URI.
On my machine concerned modules are:
ConfigDefender, Defender, HgsClient, HgsDiagnostics, Microsoft.PowerShell.Operation.Validation, ShieldedVMDataFile, UEV, Whea, WindowsDeveloperLicense.
Step to reproduce:
-Open Windows Powershell 5.1.18362.628 on a Windows 10 1909 machine
-Type: Update-Help -UICulture en-US -Scope AllUsers -Force -Verbose -Debug

Expected behavior: Help is updated
Actual behavior: You receive this error: "Update-Help: Failed to update Help for the module(s) 'ConfigDefender, Defender, HgsClient, HgsDiagnostics, Microsoft.PowerShell.Operation.Validation, ShieldedVMDataFile, UEV, Whea, WindowsDeveloperLicense' with UI culture(s) {en-US} : A Help URI cannot contain more than 10 redirections. Specify a valid Help URI.."

New-ScheduledTaskTrigger missing option to NOT 'Synchronize across time zones'

The default is to always set it. This should not be an implied default as it creates problem with Daylight Saving etc.

To remove must do as follows which should not be needed:

$str = Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName TESTTASK

$NewTriggers = @()
foreach($trigger in $str.Triggers)
{

if($trigger.StartBoundary -match '\+01:00$')

{

   $Trigger.StartBoundary =  $Trigger.StartBoundary.Substring(0,$Trigger.StartBoundary.Length-6)

}

$NewTriggers += $trigger

}

$str.Triggers = $NewTriggers
Set-ScheduledTask -InputObject $str

Please add switch to disable either through New-ScheduledTaskTrigger or via Set-ScheduledTask

Please bring back the old WindowsUpdateLog we had before. It was usefull and helpful. Get-WindowsUPdateLog on the other hand works great if you are connected to the internet. But if not, you get huge problems. There are multiple documentations not helping at all, because you are permanently keeping on changing anything. Please provide a useful documentation, provide the files we need to get the windowsupdatelog readable.

Hello!

:
Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath 'D:' -Recurse -Attributes !Hidden+!System+!ReadOnly+!Encrypted+!IntegrityStream+Directory `

-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Thank You for advice me

add it so we can add those packages to specific user without logging in to that specific user.

Make the Chocolatey refreshenv part of Powershell. Manipulating environment variables is very difficult without it.

pnputil provides the PublishedName property. This can come in handy in rare cases where Windows does not properly register and unregister a driver.

This is what I am looking for:

Microsoft PnP Utility

Adding driver package: cnp60ma64.inf
Driver package added successfully.
Published Name: oem20.inf <---- need this
Driver package installed.

Total driver packages: 1
Added driver packages: 1

Unfortunately, the printmanagement cmdlet does not provide this functionality when adding or enumerating driver objects. Add-WindowsDriver and Get-WindowsDriver do, but you can only use Add-WindowsDriver on offline images at the moment.

Is there any plan to enhance or change this?

In Windows Explorer there are two columns available: "Date modified" and "Date". I've tried both setting the .LastWriteTime and .CreationTime for files and it changes the date in the "Date Modified" column, but does not change the "Date" column.

Is there a way to modify the "Date" column in Windows Explorer using Powershell scripting? I basically want to create a "touch" command that will affect BOTH "Date modified" and "Date" columns in Windows Explorer.

Thanks!

in the WebAdministration module, the commandlet "new-WebApplication" fails if the physicalPath is a UNC location.

AppCmd.exe and the .NET lib Microsoft.Web.Administration do not have this limitation.

There is the time that we need to open more than one PowerShell windows at a time and run different CMDLETs for different purposes.
So if there is the option to show up the purposes of different PS window, it will greatly help us distinguish and find out the currently required PS window.

It would be great to have not only in-window progress bar for my scripts, but the green bar filling up my taskbar as I can see in Copy and other operations. It may be just something like -taskbar... parameter, maybe additionally fitted with ProgressState.

The Remove-PrinterDriver cmdlet currently does not offer a -Force option. This becomes a problem when there are network printers mapped via Group Policy that use the driver. When this is the case, PowerShell will return a "The specified driver is in use by one or more printers" error.

PnPUtil offers the ability to force delete a driver even if it is in use. PowerShell's Remove-PrinterDriver cmdlet should offer the same behavior (clearly it is possible).

I'm attempting to run an executable remotely on a machine that needs updating. Whenever the exe is called, Antimalware Service Executable pops up on the remote machine for a moment, and then nothing else happens.

Code is attached. Unsure if this is user error/known issue/isolated bug
