Ok guys I need a way to make this work: This is supposed to replace CMD with Powershell (run in powershell): Code: New-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cmd.exe" New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cmd.exe" -Name Debugger -Value "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WindowsPowerShell\V1.0\powershell.exe" -PropertyType String -Force | out-null However when I launch cmd.exe which redirects to powershell. I get a powershell window that simply starts eating ram immediately. Eventually Windows starts to run low on ram as well. What do you guys think?
Guardian it must be set to debugger in order to replace the cmd correctly. It can't be set as anything else. I also tried this: Code: New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\cmd.exe" -Name Debugger -Value "Powershell" -PropertyType String -Force | out-null However I get the same error because it just keeps launching instances of powershell.
Basically we need to figure out how powershell executes on opening. At the moment I think what is happening is that effectively when cmd is called it redirects to powershell. Then you have multiple instances launching which overload the disk usage then the RAM. After that the gui crashes. At the moment we'll just ignore that this is a glorious way to kill windows lol.
