Released earlier this week, a Windows 10 update by Microsoft has broken a couple of features in recently open-sourced PowerShell tool, for some users. The Windows Client KB3176934 update disables Desired State Configuration (DSC) and implicit remoting functionality of the PowerShell. This unintentional goof up comes within a week of Microsoft open-sourcing PowerShell and releasing its cross-platform binary builds for the users.

Microsoft has been trying to have the admin and developers use PowerShell, the company’s own task automation and configuration management framework. The tool has existed since 2006 when Microsoft released its first version for Windows XP SCP2.

Well, luckily most of us don't use PowerShell or the specific feature that is broken. ;)

I don't even know if I use it, or not...But, I guess it has nothing to do with being a power user. So, I guess if , I don't know, then I musn't be. ;)@ wrote:

I recently got myself a Surface Book, and it is still on Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.420) So, I am in no hurry to get the update to Windows10 AU... ''if it ain't broke" ...as they say. 🙂
Hi Tarnak
I would get updated...the improvements are worth it. i.e. Edge extensions, improved Start functionality, etc., and as I said previously...as far as I can tell nothing is 'broke' in practice. ;)

Hi Baldrick,
I think there been some problems with Windows 10 Anniversary Update...from what I have seen from comments in various forums around the internet. So, discretion for me. 🙂

I understand, Tarnak, but as I said...no issues at all here and I suspect that this is tthe same for the vast majority of users...and should you be part of that small minority who do...then you can always roll back the installation.

+54I agree Baldrick, I have it on 2 computers now with no problems at all on either.@ wrote:

Thanks....But, I'll stick with my current setup, for the moment. I don't trust a roll back, which I assume from within Windows 10 itself, and not an image backup.@ wrote:

+56Again there should be a fix out today and I assume after 1PM EDT time as usual. I don't use Powershell but some programs do when installing and as I said it's a powerful builtin tool if a user knows how to use Powershell. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/mt173057.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

+56Not sure if this update is relevent as there is no update on the (KB3176936) (Aug 23 2016) or if it's even related? Anyone else seeing this today? https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/3176936
