Maximize window and bring it in front with powershell

Question

Is there a way to bring a window in front from powershell? I tried this to hide all windows (working) and bring me the powershell back (not working)

This is cheating a bit since it's using WScript, but the following one-liner places the window in the foreground without requiring any external cmdlet installation.

In the example below, "notepad" is the process name associated with the window.
