Is there a way to see command line history across all PowerShell sessions? Windows PowerShell lets you view every command you’ve executed during the current session by using the Get-History<\/code> command. But sometimes that is not enough. In this tutorial we’ll show you how to see the full command history from all previous sessions in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

How to See Command History from Previous PowerShell Sessions in Windows 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In order to use the PowerShell command history functionality, you need to first install the PSReadLine<\/strong> module with the below command.
    \nInstall-Module PSReadLine<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tIf you’re prompted to install NuGet Provider<\/strong>, type Y<\/strong> and press Enter.<\/li>\n

  2. Next, type the following command to display the path to the file in which the PowerShell command history is saved.
    \n(Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tTo view the full detailed command history on the PowerShell console, run this command:
    \ncat (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath<\/code><\/li>\n

  3. To clear all the history of PowerShell commands you’ve ever typed, type the following command:
    \nRemove-Item (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tIf you need to prevent PowerShell from saving command history, execute this command:
    \nSet-PSReadlineOption -HistorySaveStyle SaveNothing<\/code><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tWhenever you want to configure PowerShell to track all executed commands again, run the following command:
    \nSet-PSReadlineOption -HistorySaveStyle SaveIncrementally<\/code>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
