## Version introduced | ||
|
||
.NET 10 GA | ||
|
||
## Previous behavior | ||
|
||
In Windows versions of the .NET SDK, a `dnx.ps1` script was included in the dotnet root folder, alongside `dotnet.exe` and `dnx.cmd`. | ||

|
||
## New behavior | ||
|
||
The `dnx.ps1` script is no longer included. The `dnx.cmd` script remains available for executing tools. | ||
|
||
## Type of breaking change | ||
|
||
This change can affect [source compatibility](../../categories.md#source-incompatible). | ||

|
||
## Reason for change | ||
|
||
The `dnx.ps1` script was added to avoid an extra `Terminate Batch Job` prompt when cancelling tools run via `dnx` with `CTRL+C`. However, PowerShell has special handling for `--`, so if `--` was passed on the command line it would never make it through to `dnx`. This meant from PowerShell it was impossible to pass options to a tool using `dnx` if `dnx` itself has the same option. For example, `dnx dotnet-serve -- --help` would show the help for `dnx` instead of the help for `dotnet-serve`. | ||

||
|
||
## Recommended action | ||
|
||
In most cases, the `dnx.cmd` script is used instead so no action is necessary. If you were calling `dnx.ps1` directly, switch to `dnx.cmd`. | ||
|
||
## Affected APIs | ||
|
||
None. |
