# Powershell History ### Overview Whenever a user runs a command using Powershell, it gets stored into a file that keeps a memory of past commands. This is useful for repeating commands you have used before quickly. ```powershell type %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt ``` {% hint style="warning" %} **Note**: The command above will only work from `cmd.exe`. To read the file from Powershell, you'd have to replace `%userprofile%` with `$Env:userprofile` {% endhint %} ### References 1. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
