For loop to open multiple powershell windows

Question

I'm looking for a way to open multiple powershell windows through a script. I tried with the following code, but it doesn't work.

for($1 = 1 ; $i -le 3; $i++)
{
    Start-Process powershell.exe
}

How can I reach this goal?

Answer 1

Not sure where $1 came from, change it to this:

for($i = 1 ; $i -le 3; $i++)
{
    Start-Process powershell.exe
}

and it'll work.

What's the end goal? Opening up new powershell processes will be slow and isn't usually necessary.
