[Edit 12/18/2015 - Added additional detail describing support for Windows 7 and Windows 8]
Continuing with the ongoing tradition of holiday gifts to the PowerShell community, we are excited to announce the release of Windows Management Framework 5.0 RTM.
WMF 5.0 RTM brings new management technologies such as Just Enough Admin (JEA), PowerShell Classes, PackageManagement, PowerShellGet, etc. and improvement to existing technologies such as Desired State Configuration (DSC), PowerShell Script Debugging, Software Inventory Logging (SIL) etc. to downlevel systems.
WMF 5.0 RTM replaces WMF 5.0 Production Preview, and is the fully-supported version many of you have been waiting for. You can now deploy the latest features of PowerShell in your production environments.
WMF 5.0 RTM is now available for download via the Microsoft Download Center. You can read (and contribute to) more about these new functionalities and improvements in WMF 5.0 RTM release notes.
Currently, WMF 5.0 RTM is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1. You'll need .NET Framework 4.5 installed to run WMF 5.0, which can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center, as needed.
Note: If you are running Windows 10, you can get the same set of functionality available in WMF 5.0 RTM by updating to the November update of Windows 10 (Version 1511). If you have not already updated your Windows 10 system, select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
We're excited to provide this new iteration of WMF to you all, and we're happy to hear any and all feedback that you may have via our new UserVoice site.
On behalf of everyone contributing to WMF 5.0, we hope you enjoy this RTM release.
- Windows PowerShell Team
Thanks to Tacticalogic for the heads up!!
5.0 has been in beta for a while. It’s pretty amazing. They’re integrating a lot of functionality into the management framework.
Is this the major windows 10 update that took about an hour to install the other night?

Not likely. This is a back-port of the Windows Management Framework that came in Windows 10, and will be in Server 2016 to previous Windows versions.
It's an update for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 and Server 2008R2, 2012, and 2012R2.
Microsoft, squandering a perfectly wonderful opportunity to have my money for upgrades and a new computer, has driven my family to Apple, Linux, and OpenBSD.
After owning only Windows computers since the 90’s, I do not expect to have it as a primary OS ever again, and I’m leading a number of others that same direction.
Microsoft is not going to have access to everything I type on my computer in exchange for a free OS.
Their upgrade insistence from Windows 7 boggles the mind.
I made the mistake of installing Windows 10. Now, I can’t any emails. Did a Google search, looks like I’m not alone with this problem.
Anyone know how to correct this problem. I have to get my emails from my IPad now.
Thanks in advance.....
Assuming that your email was browser-based (as opposed to a program like MS Outlook) try opening it in Internet Explorer instead of the native Edge. Or better yet install a different browser altogether.
I can send.... they show up in the Sent Folder. But nothing in the Inbox. I can receive them on my IPad.
I have the emails synched with Google.
Installed Win 10 over Win 8.1 on my Surface Pro 3. All works fine. I use Office 2013.
I want the graphical scripting macros generated by doing the total actions once, back.
Why, pray tell, did Windows 10, change everything. How do you change the browser?
“No Google, all the time” is my motto.
I get an error code:0x80072726.
But now I want a Macro Recorder in Linux.
I went back to XP, and now everything works like it used to work. I have numerous software tools for my work. They were starting to behave abnormally as the stealth upgrade from WIN7 progressed.
There are still good alternatives for virus protection, even for XP.
My next move will be to Linux.
I find that XP in a VirtualBox on Linux works fine.
