    I recently installed LTSC with the latest updates and noticed that the taskbar settings no longer has the setting listed below.

    Powershell is listed in the Win+X context menu and I want to replace it with command prompt.
    Did Ms remove this option at some stage and is there a reg update for that?

    Hopefully this should switch it to Command Prompt :)
    Code:
    @echo off
    REM Run as Administrator.
    REG Add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "DontUsePowerShellOnWinx" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    REG Add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "DontUsePowerShellOnWinx" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
    
    
    May need a reboot but i don't think it does.

    The setting may be now hidden within PC Settings and not off the taskbar...

    Just ran a reg compare on a system that still had the option before you posted and came up with the same info.
    Logoff is enough to make it switch. Makes me wonder what other settings have disappeared from the Windows 10
    Settings menu

    i agree.

    i know most of the Control Panel items are being moved to the Settings App, and it a mess when some are in both!

    There is nothing changed, it is not hidden, it's on its old place and works perfectly. Even no needs to restart explorer or anything else.
    If You turn on or off, everything changes immediately. Just now tested.
    If You have problem, it should caused by something else.

    Who said anything about hidden? In my case it has been removed from the settings menu. Are you running LTSC 1809 with the latest December Rollup?

    I have 2 different LTSC fresh installed systems where the subject button was removed after updating with the latest rollup.

    Can anyone confirm this?
