# knife-windows 1.6.0 doc changes ### Choosing a winrm shell # knife-windows 1.6.0 release notes: This release adds a `--winrm-shell` argument to `knife winrm`. This accepts one of three possible values: `cmd`, `powershell` or `elevated`. The default value is `cmd`. The `elevated` shell is similar to the `powershell` shell but runs the powershell command from a scheduled task.
