On Windows, install node v24.15.0 either directly or through nvm-windows.\n2. Open Powershell and run `node`\n3. `process.title`, and observe that the result is something like \"Windows Powershell\".\n4. Install node v24.16.0.\n5. Repeat steps 2-3\n\n### How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?\n\nIt happens every time.\n\n### What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?\n\nEXPECTED: The output should be \"Windows Powershell\" as it was in every version prior to this. Otherwise, I'm unsure of how Node running on a Windows machine can know whether it was instantiated in Powershell or CMD.\n\n### What do you see instead?\n\nACTUAL: The output will be the path to 'node.exe'.\n\n### Additional information\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jfeingold35","@type":"Person","name":"jfeingold35"},"datePublished":"2026-06-11T19:38:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":7},"url":"https://github.com/63858/node/issues/63858"}
