Why PowerShell doesn't pop up?

Question

During the Fundamentals course I created a sandbox but the PowerShell window doesn't pop up

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Answer 1

Hey Wiktoria,

The Microsoft Learn sandbox doesn’t launch a desktop PowerShell window; it spins up an in-browser Azure Cloud Shell instead. Here’s a quick checklist to get you going:

1. Look for the Cloud Shell pane at the bottom of the learning module page. If it’s collapsed, click the little “PowerShell” button or the “>_” icon in the lower right.
2. Wait for initialization. It can take 20–30 seconds the first time as it provisions your sandbox storage.
3. Disable pop-up/iframe blockers. If your browser or a corporate policy is blocking embedded frames, the Cloud Shell pane may never appear. Try in an incognito window or a different browser to confirm.
4. Make sure you’re signed into Microsoft Learn. The sandbox only spins up once you’re authenticated.

I hope this helps.
