Windows 10 and Powershell do not mix!

So I upgraded to Windows 10, it hasn't been 24 hours and already it is making me miserable. I can do without many things in life, but not Powershell.

My normal command work area is a white background with black foreground. Now, in windows 10 it is a rainbow. For example,

Get-Service | ? {$_.Name -match "notepad"} | select Name,Status

Get-Service is in yellow, $_ is in green, Name I think is in white because I cannot see it, "notepad" in blue, select in yellow, and Name,Status in black.

I changed colors via the properties of the command window and also via the $host.UI.RawUI command.

Any ideas?

I'm going to try for another 24 hours. I don't find a fix then it's bye-bye windows 10.

Best regards.

That's because Windows 10 comes with PSReadLine

I like it . It works great and on win10 it is much faster in the UI.  It loads faster and comes alive faster. 

I think it is a keeper.  A lot of people will go into sticker shock (from the cost of change) but in a year they will be scrambling to get one too.

I agree. It is much faster. I really like the windows maximizing feature.
