This pull request adds support for PowerShell as a managed Windows app, including its metadata, versioning, install/uninstall scripts, and validation logic in the CI workflow. It also ensures that any pre-installed PowerShell 7 is removed from the test environment before validation. The most important changes are: **PowerShell app definition and metadata:** * Added a new entry for PowerShell in `ee/maintained-apps/inputs/winget/powershell.json` and included its metadata in `ee/maintained-apps/outputs/apps.json`, enabling PowerShell to be managed as a Windows app. [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-7e4899a379d327948f55b7e6ba4c9893501713edd16020b128b68343569fcbfbR1-R10) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-4c1446cfc02c6bb0bda874481e333c65b84e184fcea52f656b49a6489f73c9c2R1985-R1991) * Created `ee/maintained-apps/outputs/powershell/windows.json` containing version information, SQL queries for existence and patch status, installer/uninstaller scripts, and download URL for PowerShell 7.6.2.0. **CI workflow enhancements for PowerShell:** * Updated `.github/workflows/test-fma-windows-pr-only.yml` to detect changes involving PowerShell, set the appropriate output flags, and conditionally execute PowerShell-specific steps.

These changes collectively enable PowerShell to be validated, installed, and uninstalled as part of the managed apps ecosystem and ensure reliable, repeatable CI validation. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added PowerShell as a supported application with full Windows integration, including installation and uninstall management capabilities. * Enhanced deployment scripts to support flexible input handling for app configurations. * Added PowerShell icon to the frontend UI for visual identification. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Open-source platform for IT and security teams with thousands of computers. Designed for APIs, GitOps, webhooks, YAML, and humans.
What's it for?
Fleet gives you a single system to secure and maintain all your computing devices over the air. You can do MDM, patch stuff, deploy software, and verify anything, all from one place, across every OS your organization uses.
Fleet works directly with data and events from the native operating system, down to the bare metal. Strong diagnostics let you investigate errors on end-user devices and collect accurate audit evidence in minutes.
Get started
You can try Fleet out for yourself, or grab time with one of the maintainers to chat.
Is it any good?
Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams managing thousands of devices. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage 400,000 or more.
Supported platforms
- Linux (all distros)
- macOS
- Windows
- Chromebooks
- iOS and Android (BYOD or corporate-owned)
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Google Cloud (GCP)
- Azure (Microsoft cloud)

Infrastructure as code
Manage your fleet with GitOps, or use the GUI, REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool.
Linux support
First-class support for all major distros. Linux gets the same attention and visibility as macOS and Windows.
Visibility and compliance
Fleet can report on hundreds of attributes across your devices and ships with CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows and comprehensive operating system, hardware, and software data. Check out the table reference documentation to see what's available.
Open by design
Fleet is open source and transparent about what it can and can't see. End users can verify exactly how the agent works and what data their company collects. Fleet collects only the data needed to manage and secure devices, not private activity like keystrokes, emails, or webcams.
Good neighbors
Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly integrations exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more. Fleet also works with tools such as Munki, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne.
Lighter than air
Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for MDM without using it for security, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using.
Free as in free
The free version of Fleet will always be free. Fleet is independently backed and actively maintained with the help of many amazing contributors.
Longevity
The company behind Fleet is founded (and majority-owned) by true believers in open source. The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time.
