About this tag
Configuration troubleshooting on Windows often involves editing system files and restarting services to achieve desired behavior. In one example, a user attempted to set PowerShell as the default shell for SSH logins on a Windows 11 Pro machine by adding a subsystem line to the sshd_config file and restarting the OpenSSH server, but the change did not take effect.
