Get back Command Prompt?

[ithehappy]

Hey guys, from some update of Win 10 the Command Prompt is replaced by PowerShell or something, and I don't care, but as I only use Command Prompt to open the fastboot directory to connect my phone I thought PowerShell would be able to do that, but unfortunately it can't! Running commands like adb devices throws some error, which never happened/happens with Command Prompt. So basically I was searching on Google and found this link which asks for a registry edit, I just wanna know is it safe to do that?

Also just outta curiosity why PowerShell can't open fastboot commands when Command Prompt worked absolutely fine always?

You probably cannot run adb because it is not in the powershell path. Powershell has a different path setting than cmd. You can see it by typing

$env:path

to add to the path do

$env:path += <path>

You can just type cmd from start to get to the old command prompt.

There is an option in taskbar settings to replace CMD with Powershell in the right-click/Win+X menu, uncheck that.

Pretty much the only way I access command prompt is with the WinKey+R shortcut, followed by “cmd” [Enter]

Works on all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
