Run and troubleshoot Windows PowerShell, cmd, and native Windows commands reliably from WSL, with separate safety guidance for Windows over SSH. Use for Windows host inspection, files, processes, services, registry, networking, packages, scheduled tasks, event logs, disks, installers, or any command containing PowerShell variables, pipelines, quotes, multiline code, paths with spaces, JSON, native executables, remote Windows targets, UAC boundaries, or WSL interop errors. Also use whenever a prior Windows command had a parser, quoting, exit-code, encoding, wrong-host, timeout, CLIXML, endpoint-security, or transport failure.
