Are People Using PowerShell 5 or 7?

Posted on April 29, 2023

Most people are still using PowerShell 5 rather than 7 as PowerShell 7 does not have the ISE editor and some do not like Visual Studio Code. Depending on the goal, users are trying to use PowerShell 7 for their scripts, although it is not yet possible to do this within ControlUp Script Actions yet.


Read the entire ‘Are People Using PowerShell 5 or 7?’ thread below:

Quick question are people using Powershell 7 or what version are you guys using? i’m used version 5 and finding thinks have change in version 7


Still using PowerShell 5, since PowerShell 7 doesn’t have a ISE editor which will never come. I don’t like Visual Studio Code.


Getting used to Visual Studio Code. Just wondering if the standard practice is 5 or 7 these days

just my script for writing to the windows event logs is not supported in windows 7 and trying to figure it out


ISE is the worst thing ever, I have seen variables staying intact even after reboots causing false positives or weird issues on scripts.

And depending on the goal I try to use ps7 these days. If it has to be a CU script action sadly thats not possible yet


Ohh didn’t know that 😞 on the CU side.
