Is the directory C:\Users\sehonc in your PATH environment variable? If it's not try using .\mvn.exe -v

Is "mvn" an executable? Or is it a script?

Why my maven commands don't work in PowerShell but the same commands work in the cmd?

In my PATH (User variables for sehonc) directory C:\Users\sehonc is absent.
Do I need to add C:\Users\sehonc to the PATH?

Unfortunately, I didn't get where I need to use .\mvn.exe -v
Can you please explain in more detail?

It's a maven command.

Redirect the output and see if there is anything in it.

mvn.exe -v 1> $env:temp\Maven.log 2>&1 notepad.exe $env:temp\Maven.log

I noticed that the first line of output from "mvn -v" is highlighted. Maybe it's displaying some control character that is confusing PS.

mvn.exe -v 1> $env:temp\Maven.log 2>&1 not working

Because that executable isn't in a directory that's in your PATH environment variable you need to specify where the executable is. Unlike the DOS CMD.EXE shell PowerShell doesn't assume that you meant to run something in whatever happens to be the current working directory.

If you current working directory is "C:\Users\Sehonc" and that's where the mvn.exe file is found simply prefix the executable name with ".\". E.g., .\mvn.exe
