I'm running a Windows 8 machine. The "Windows Features" window tells my that I'm using PowerShell 2, but the PowerShell environment itself says otherwise, see screenshot below.
Why is the Windows Features window saying I got PowerShell 2.0?

PowerShell v3 is build into Windows 8, you can not add/ remove it.
v2 is different story - it's optional, system will operate normally without it, so you can disable/ enable it. To use it - you need to run powershell.exe with parameter -version 2 - it should be first parameter on the list for it to work.

Helps if you expand what features are included by
Windows Powershell 2.0it sounds like both versions are installed. Does this happen on a freshWindows 8installation? – Ramhound – 2013-02-15T13:50:33.193http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849675.aspx – magicandre1981 – 2013-02-15T20:38:09.967
