Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
In early versions of Windows10 it was still possible to launch Cmd from Windows Explorer context menu and also to place an icon into the Windows Explorer "QuickAccessToolbar". Then at some point it was decided to promote PowerShell and those possibilities where removed and strange registry hacks emerged to control the behavior of cmd vs. powershell involving keys like HideBasedOnVelocityId and ShowBasedOnVelocityId, see also [1].
Now there a strange hacks with questionable security to bring back the old UX or workarounds with less integration as shell commands.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Encourage Windows to again give user the choice between PowerShell and Cmd and have both with equal level of integration in the system, as it is still the case for Win-X menu.
Edit: removed mistake of referring to command line, actually Windows Explorer context menu was meant
Edit2: fixed link
