Powershell optimizations on windows

What feature would you like to see?

Version 0.30 has improved many aspects of the application, and the GPT-5 model on high seems excellent at understanding and creating code.

However, on Windows it seem that GPT-5 is quite limited by its understanding of Powershell. It get the jobs done, eventually, but it sometimes takes 3-4 attempts at powershell. Errors such as missing quotes for the command, assuming tools are present or invalid characters / line breaks often emerge. My impression is that this limits what the model can archive on windows, and it sometimes give up.

WSL is not an option for some commercial settings that requires browser access or use of e.g older .net versions.

It would be great to enhance how codex use powershell on windows, or give it better tools on windows to search files and find information.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

No sorry
