The option to replace the.PowerShell index menu is no longer in.Settings > Taskbar. The only option that I've read of is the Win+X Menu Editor which you can download at Download Win+X Menu Editor - MajorGeeks. Do you know of any other way?

Hello, :alien:

You should have "Terminal" and "Terminal (Admin)" in the Win+X menu by default. Terminal opens with PowerShell by default.

Uninstall windows terminal and it should go back to powershell.

Or go to the AppData location for winx and edit the shortcut for terminal to point to powershell instead. Will still read terminal but launch powershell.

Or just set powershell as the default profile for terminal and when launched it will be powershell inside terminal
