  • Now run the CMD command, which starts a new command prompt
  • After the command prompt starts, type and then run the ("color a") command
  • You must now start Windows PowerShell by typing this command ("powershell.exe")

Expected behavior

Windows PowerShell should return to its default text color.

Actual behavior
