Let's say I'm done for the day and shutting down my laptop. Now, how can I save the PowerShell window shown in the image so that I can continue from the same state of the PowerShell window tomorrow along with all the outputs?

Tomorrow when I open the PowerShell, it should have the same path along with all its output.

use a virtual machine and take a snapshot? – Cid Jul 08 '21 at 07:34
No @Cid , a snapshot will not work as I have to continue working on it tomorrow. – Kshitij Agarwal Jul 08 '21 at 07:38
Yes it will, I'm using VMs everyday and save states like this – Cid Jul 08 '21 at 07:40
Which VM you are using? – Kshitij Agarwal Jul 08 '21 at 07:43
VMWare Workstation, but any VM tool should allow you to save snapshots/states – Cid Jul 08 '21 at 07:46
These VMs consume a lot of resources and I have a very decent laptop. So is there some other way? – Kshitij Agarwal Jul 08 '21 at 07:48

Why not simply use [sleep/hibernate](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/shut-down-sleep-or-hibernate-your-pc-2941d165-7d0a-a5e8-c5ad-8c972e8e6eff)? – iRon Jul 08 '21 at 08:15
Just out of curiosity. Why do have the requirement? – alexzelaya Jul 08 '21 at 09:00
@iRon you know how frequently windows 10 requires restarting. I'm continuously installing and deleting new things. – Kshitij Agarwal Jul 08 '21 at 15:29
@alexzelaya it's very painful everytime to start the process from scratch – Kshitij Agarwal Jul 08 '21 at 15:30
What's so painful? Is there a list of manual things that could maybe be automated? – alexzelaya Jul 09 '21 at 00:04
See everyone has their own requirements. I don't want to waste my time every day doing the same tasks which can be automated. – Kshitij Agarwal Jul 09 '21 at 05:30
