@Aristarh Ucolov That information is for "PowerShell", not "Windows PowerShell". "PowerShell" is an open source product that is also multi-platform. "Windows PowerShell" is a Microsoft product and runs only on MS Windows. The two are not identical.
Thanks for this very important clarification - overloaded terminology is a real trap for beginners.
@Robert Holt I agree with you on the somewhat confusing name. However, there will be no further development of Windows PowerShell. Any new features (and there are more than a few) will appear in "PowerShell" (release numbers greater than 6).
There are also some problems to overcome, such as using some modules that have a dependency on features outside .Net Core (which has multi-platform versions). They're still usable, but you have to add the -UseWindowsPowerShell switch to the Import-Module cmdlet -- and that will run the code in the cmdlet in a Windows PowerShell process and use "Remoting" to communicate between the two.
The last version of Windows Powershell is 5.1.22621.4249. It was released about two years ago in September 2022. There won't be any further updates.
The most recent version of PowerShell 7 is 7.4.6 (I think), I'm running 7.4.5.
