Why is PowerShell no longer showing syntax highlighting?
Asked by

A few days ago, my PowerShell setup had perfect syntax highlighting, but now it's just gone. I used to see commands like "exit" highlighted in green, and messages like "Install the latest PowerShell for new features and improvements!" were in yellow. Does anyone know what might have caused this issue?

I've run into similar problems with Visual Studio Code where I had to restart the PowerShell extension to restore syntax highlighting. Have you tried that? Sometimes a quick restart can fix these glitches.

You might want to check if the PsReadline module is loaded properly. You can try running `Import-Module PsReadline`, but if you get an error, it means the module isn't available. If that happens, you can reinstall it using `Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -Scope CurrentUser -Force`. That should help!
