Unable to change font and font size of PowerShell on Windows 8.1

The My PowerShell window opens with a very small font (and window size). This is a common problem, and I have found many suggestions on how to deal with this, but none of the suggestions seem to work. In particular, the general assumption that you need to open PowerShell with administrator rights, change properties and close the window does not work. Next time I open it. The only way I managed to open it with the right font and window size was to open the application directly. Any call using a shortcut does not provide the correct properties.

I am running Windows 8.1, which seems to be the main difference between my situation and the situation of other users who have had this problem. Any idea how to fix this?

For Win 8.1 On the Start menu, locate PowerShell. The location of the open file. Open the context menu (right-click). Security tab → Edit permissions to change. Select the Font tab. (skipping errors - nothing set, so the problem) Select Font (I installed Lucida Sans Size 16). Apply Changes). Security Tab Change Permissions Delete. Submit an expression. Done.

Is it possible that you are adjusting the properties rather than the "default values"? Also, I'm with Keith; Consolas fonts give you much larger sizes than bitmaps, and the Lucida console gives people problems.

Launch PowerShell as an administrator, set the default font properties, then close the PowerShell window. Then run PowerShell as a regular user, you should see the same font as before.
