Install-WindowsFeature Powershell cmdlet results in 'How do you want to open this file' popup.
Running Install-WindowsFeature Powershell cmdlet results in 'How do you want to open this file?'
Hi all,
I have a fresh Windows 2016 server build. Â I am trying to install some Windows Features via Powershell.
When trying to run the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet, it pops up with the 'How do you want to open this file?'
Can someone help me resolve this? Â Searching around Google, i have only come across a few mentions of other people experiencing this, but without an obvious fix.
E.G: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/7o8nee/powershell_cmdlets_prompt_how_do_you_want_to_open/
This may or may not be significant, but I also noticed that when i press tab (to try and autocomplete the commands) it adds a ."\" to the front of the command. Â It also seems to cycle through a list of files as opposed to the expected list of features.
