Now let's see How to Set up the Current Directory in Windows PowerShell & Remove The Windows PowerShell Start Text 👇

1.) Download & Install Windows Terminal from Microsoft Store.

2.) Open Windows PowerShell / Terminal.

3.) Paste this line Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser. If it gives you any Error then please Open your PowerShell with the permission of the Administrator.
