How to set PowerShell 7 as default and remove other versions

Question

I want to set PowerShell 7 as the default shell. So when I shift right click in File Explorer and click on "Open PowerShell window here" in the context menu, I want PowerShell 7 to come up.

And I want to remove completely the other versions.

Is there anyway to do that?

Answer 1

Follow these steps:

1. Click on the down arrow and press settings
2. A json file will open, and you will see a line near the top that has a parameter called defaultProfile with a UUID.
3. Also you will see a line representing the UUID of the PowerShell 7.0
4. Copy that UUID and put it in for defaultProfile

Good Luck!
