    In this latest Insider build, Windows PowerShell 2.0 has been deprecated and is now removed from the system. This reflects Microsoft's move towards modern, more secure, and efficient versions of PowerShell.

    This is a notification that Windows PowerShell 2.0 is being removed from Windows 11 Insider Preview builds in the Canary Channel. Users should be aware that they will no longer have access to this older version of PowerShell. Microsoft is planning a future update to remove it entirely from the stable release of Windows 11.
