The command "powershell -NoExit" is used to launch Windows PowerShell and prevents the PowerShell window from closing after executing any commands or scripts.

Explanation:

• "powershell": This is the command used to start Windows PowerShell, which is a command-line shell and scripting language developed by Microsoft for task automation and configuration management in Windows.
• "-NoExit": This is a command-line switch used with the "powershell" command. When this switch is specified, it tells PowerShell to remain open after executing commands or scripts, preventing the window from closing. This allows users to continue interacting with the PowerShell session or run additional commands without having to relaunch PowerShell every time.

Without the "-NoExit" switch, PowerShell would execute the specified command or script and then automatically close the window, making it useful for running PowerShell commands or scripts in a one-time manner. But with "-NoExit", the PowerShell window will stay open, providing a persistent command-line environment where additional commands can be executed as needed.
