Powershell ISE issue

Question

Unable to open PowerShell ISE x64 in admin mode nor in user login mode.

As PowerShell ISE x32 bit is working fine.

Kindly suggest.

Answer 1

We can try running the System File Checker (SFC) tool on your computer. This tool will not only help us identify if there are corrupted components on your computer but will also repair them. Here's the article where you can find the instructions on how to do so: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/402652...

If the issue continues even after running the SCF, we recommend creating a new user account (steps can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402692...) and name it as Test. From there, try launching PowerShell (make sure to launch it as an administrator) and see if the issue will occur. We may need to reinstall your Windows if all the troubleshooting steps will not resolve this issue.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Anwille,

Tried all the steps which you have shared but no luck.

As i am able to open PowerShell as admin and in user profile.

But my issue with Only ISE x64 its not getting open even as Administrator.

Answer 3

Try these steps instead:

1. You can right-click on "Start" --> "Windows PowerShell Module" or "Windows PowerShell ISE" by going to "Start" --> "Administrative Tools" --> "Windows PowerShell Module" or "Windows PowerShell ISE". Select "Run As administrator". Anything you run in that window will be as "Administrator".

Hi Sudarshan,

I'm Anwille, an Independent Advisor.

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

1. You can create/edit a shortcut to the powershell_ise.exe executable file and edit the properties for that shortcut to Run as Administrator.
2. You can start PowerShell ISE as admin by Start-Process powershell_ise -verb RunAs

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.
