Microsoft has recently made an announcement regarding the impending removal of PowerShell 2.0 from Windows 11. This legacy component, dating back to the Windows 7 era, has been officially deprecated since 2017. The move aims to streamline the system by eliminating outdated code, simplifying system architecture, and bolstering overall security. This transformation is slated to take effect in the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update and Windows Server 2025. Microsoft emphasizes that the majority of users will experience no disruptions; however, some scripts or applications that depend on PowerShell 2.0 may encounter compatibility challenges. To mitigate these issues, users are encouraged to update their scripts or adopt the latest version of PowerShell. Notably, older versions of Windows 11 still include PowerShell 2.0, giving users the option to install or uninstall it based on their requirements.
