PowerShell 2.0, officially deprecated in 2017, is being phased out from Windows 11 as part of a broader effort by Microsoft to encourage users to transition to later versions. Although it lingered for backward compatibility and remained in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 for some time, Microsoft has emphasized the non-development of this version. Most modern Windows editions come preinstalled with version 5.1, and PowerShell 7.x offers a newer cross-platform solution. This change marks a significant step in refining Windows administration tools.
PowerShell 2.0 remains a part of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 due to dependencies, but it was officially deprecated in 2017 and is now being phased out.
The confirmation of PowerShell 2.0's end comes through a Windows Insider update, indicating a significant shift towards encouraging users to adopt newer versions.
