Hi, Ravi.

 

If you run the following command, does it show as FullLanguage or another value? (I'm guessing it may be ConstrainedLanguage.)

 

$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode

 

 

 

Incidentally, Name is a read-only attribute on $Host, meaning that won't work anyway.

 

If you were looking to change the windows title, you need to change $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle:

 

$Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = "Foo";

 

Cheers,

Lain

    LainRobertson - Yes, after some research, I also found that. It's in ConstrainedLanguage mode and not in FullLanguage. I am unable to change it to FullLanguage mode. Based on online articles, this will be temporary for the current session but for me it's everywhere and I am unable to change it.

     

    Can you please help me to change it. Thanks!
