  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    Microsoft Windows [Versión 10.0.18361.1]

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    When I update to a new Insider build, most of my custom settings for Powershell are not retained and seem to reset to the default. Here's what my terminal looks like after an upgrade:
    powershell-incorrect-win-x
    This is when starting it through the Win+X menu. The colors are completely wrong:
    powershell-incorrect-colors

The font size is also 14, instead of the 16 it should be.

Interestingly, starting it through Win+R (powershell) results in the following:
powershell-incorrect-win-r
When running it this way, the font size and colors are correct, though the foreground and background colors are still wrong.

Default options are still correct.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    Here's what it should look like:
    powershell-correct
    powershell-correct-colors

This does not affect cmd or WSL, which both retain their settings as expected.

Possibly relevant information:

  • My system language is Spanish (Spain), but English (United States) is the default language for applications
  • The codepage in use is 437

Let me know if this belongs in the Powershell repo instead.
