Set cmd properties with PowerShell

Question

We want to set CMD options for Windows Server with our $PROFILE from POWERSHELL:
Green on black, blue on white
112x46
Buffers 50/999
Quick Edit, insert and Discard all checked



But when we open "Command Prompt (Admin) nothing has changed:

Set-ItemProperty –path “HKCU:\Console” –name QuickEdit –value 1  
Set-ItemProperty –path “HKCU:\Console” –name InsertMode –value 1  
Set-ItemProperty –path “HKCU:\Console” –name HistoryNoDupe –value 1  
Set-ItemProperty –path “HKCU:\Console” –name HistoryBufferSize -value 50  
Set-ItemProperty –path “HKCU:\Console” –name ColorTable00 –value 0  
Set-ItemProperty –path “HKCU:\Console” –name ColorTable12 –value 255

Hi,

can you please try taking the ownership of one of those registry key and then run the cmdlet again? What happens?
Can you please also test with the "-Credential" parameter, which will allow you to enter your credentials. Something like:

Set-ItemProperty –path “HKCU:\Console” –name QuickEdit –value 1 -Credential Get-Credential

Can you please also take a look here and see if you find something helpful:
