Unable to reset PowerShell back to default colors

Question

A while back I changed the PowerShell colors from the default settings and I'd like to change them back. However, there doesn't seem to be any instructions on how to reset PowerShell to return to default colors. I've tried the standard user and Administrator PowerShell windows and any changes I make to the properties or default properties do not appear to take effect. What is more confusing is that when I compare the settings between the modified PowerShell properties on System 1 and look at the PowerShell properties on System 2 they appear to be identical. However System 2 has the default colors. No $profile is saved on either system.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Request sent.

Answer 2

Some color values are incorrect in that shortcut.

Unzip and copy the link file to:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows PowerShell

Overwrite the existing file when prompted.

If that doesn't help, request another trace log by starting "powershell.exe" from the Start/Run (Win + R) dialog.
