I'd like to write a powershell module (or whatever it's called)... in the end it's an assemly that you can load and that contains classes derived from PSCmdlet. And I'd like to debug this in Visual Studio (not Visual Studio Code or something, the full Visual Studio 2017 and 2019). ... now, when I tell Visual Studio to launch the powershell for debugging, the layout is different from when I launch it via the link I find in my startmenu. And it's also different from the layout when I launch it from the command line (typing powershell.exe). Question... why? How does this work with this layout stuff?

    Hi RudolfMeier,

    As far as I know, the default layout of debugger is the project output directory. Maybe you can change the output path or move related scripts and other components.

    Best Regards, Dylan
