Windows Central Question

My goto right click on start button (or Win+X) , used to have Command Prompt and Command Prompt (Admin).. after installing the Creators update, this changed to Powershell.

It's impossible for me to understand how/why MS would change something like that.

Anyone know how to modify the (or Win+X) menu?

It's very simple to restore Command Prompt back to right click Start Menu :

Settings > Personalization > left side, select Taskbar > right side, scroll to " Replace Command Prompt with....." > turn it OFF.
