How to reload user profile from script file in PowerShell

Question

I want to reload my user profile from a script file. I thought that dot sourcing it from within the script file would do the trick, but it doesn\'t work:

# f         


        

Answer 1

Why are you trying to do this?

Because it is likely to create duplicates (appends to $env:path) and problems with setting constant/readonly objects causing errors.

There was a thread on this topic recently on microsoft.public.windows.powershell.

If you are trying to reset the state of the session there is no way to do this, even using an inner scope ($host.EnterNestedPrompt()) because of the ability to set variables/aliases/... at "all scope".
