How to Update PowerShell 3.0 HELP

karlsnooks · Oct 9, 2012

To update powershell 3.0 help,
run Powershell as admin, enter following:
UPDATE-HELP
and hit ENTER

you will get a pile of "VERBOSE" messages, you will get red WARNING messages.

You have done nothing wrong. PS 3.0 also has a few quirks.

PowerShell Help is updated frequently, after all, PS 3.0 is still new.

I recommend, if you are a frequent user of PS, that you run update-help daily until they finally catch up.

To get rid of the verbose and the error msgs, use:
UPDATE-HELP 2>$NULL 4>$NULL

To see why that works:
HELP REDIRECTION
