Software Update: PowerShell 7.1.5

Microsoft has released new versions of PowerShell. PowerShell is an object-oriented shell and scripting language and has been around since 2006. Since version 2.0 it has been a standard part of Windows. Since August 2016 it is open source and also available for macOS, CentOS and Ubuntu. Microsoft has released version 7.1.5 from Microsoft and the changelog of that version looks like this:

Telemetry Changes

• Configure ApplicationInsights to not send cloud role name (Internal 17100)
