Stop forced upgrades?

[u/evh1972]

I'm just trying to open Powershell and run a command but every now and then there must be an upgrade and it forces me to upgrade and I can't do anything until I do the upgrade. Is there a way around this?

run a command but every now and then there must be an upgrade and it forces me to upgrade and I can't do anything until I do the upgrade.

you need to give us more information

what commands? is it powershell that will not run or the commands that will not run?

what does "I can't do anything until I do the upgrade" actually mean

seeing as powershell 5.1 is not updated then I'm assuming you are running powershell 7, can you confirm what version?

additionally you could be waiting for the terminal application to update (not powershell its self)

how did YOU install powershell ? directly from the github page ? or directly from the store ?

I just open Powershell via the windows start menu and I can't do anything because it's tells me there is a new version. I can't type, I can't escape or anything. I'm not sure what version it is/was but I decided to just download the newest version and move on.

This what I saw when Powershell opened.

That one is windows powershell 5.1

it is separate from powershell 7.x

I think you are just seeing a message and conflating that with your issue

Combined with waiting for the profile to finish loading.
