**This repo provides 500+ useful and cross-platform PowerShell scripts in the [📂Scripts](Scripts/) subfolder - for command-line interface (CLI) usage, for remote control (via SSH), by context menu, by voice (e.g. [talk2windows](https://github.com/fleschutz/talk2windows)), by automation software (e.g. [Jenkins](https://www.jenkins.io/)), automatically on login/logoff/daily/etc., or simply to learn PowerShell.**
**[Download](https://github.com/fleschutz/PowerShell/releases) | [FAQ](Docs/FAQ.md)** | **Note:** the scripts support Unicode - a modern console is recommended (e.g. *Windows Terminal*)
