PowershellFullscreenPowershell 2.0Powershell Problem Overview
Is there a way of making powershell appear in fullscreen? Not only maximize it over the screen, but hiding the top-bar as well?
Also, since this is probably hard to do, how to maximize it according to current resolution?

Solution 4 - Powershell
The trick to using PS in a modern fashion is to use a different type of terminal program. I use ConEmu as it is open-source and free.
Not only will it allow you to run the screen maximised, you can have several tabs, clear-type fonts, custom colours et cetera.
Together with the free 'Source Code Pro' font, it makes for a very nice PS environment.
Hope this helps
Solution 5 - Powershell
Display Options -> Fullscreen, or ALT+ENTER should enter fullscreen mode.
Solution 6 - Powershell
You can create a shortcut with
"%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe " -NoExit -Command "mode 300"
The -NoExit option will keep the console open after running the startup command, and the -Command option of course runs the command on console startup. Besides, if you're not an administrator or you're running Windows 8 (hence apps run as not privileged by default) you can setup your shortcut to run Powershell as administrator always.

If it would be sufficient to merely maximize your PowerShell window, you can simply add -WindowStyle Maximized to your PowerShell shortcut:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -WindowStyle Maximized
