# Set-PSUEnvironment

Set-PSUEnvironment updates an existing execution environment in PowerShell Universal, identified by Id or pipeline object.

## SYNOPSIS

Updates an existing execution environment.

## SYNTAX

```powershell
Set-PSUEnvironment -Id <Int64> [-Name <String>] [-Path <String>] [-Arguments <String>] [-Type <EnvironmentType>] [-PowerShellVersion <String>] [-Virtual] [-ContainerImageUrl <String>] [-ContainerImageTag <String>] [-ContainerPull] [-RunspaceSaturationWarningThresholdPercent <Int32>] [-RunspaceSaturationWarningDurationSeconds <Int32>] [<ConnectionOptions>] [<CommonParameters>]
Set-PSUEnvironment -Environment <ExecutionEnvironment> [-Name <String>] [-Path <String>] [-Arguments <String>] [-Type <EnvironmentType>] [-PowerShellVersion <String>] [-Virtual] [-ContainerImageUrl <String>] [-ContainerImageTag <String>] [-ContainerPull] [-RunspaceSaturationWarningThresholdPercent <Int32>] [-RunspaceSaturationWarningDurationSeconds <Int32>] [<ConnectionOptions>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

`<ConnectionOptions>`: `[-ComputerName <String>] [-AppToken <String>] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-UseDefaultCredentials] [-Integrated] [-TrustCertificate] [-Cookies]`.

## DESCRIPTION

Updates an environment by ID or pipeline object. Only supplied fields change. `-Name` and `-Path`, when specified, must not be empty. For `-Type Isolated`, `-PowerShellVersion` accepts installed versions or multi-pwsh selectors (`stable`, `preview`, `lts`, or a major.minor version); use `-Virtual` for a managed multi-pwsh virtual environment. For container environments, set the image URL and tag and toggle image pulling with `-ContainerPull`.

## EXAMPLES

```powershell
Set-PSUEnvironment -Id 3 -Name 'PowerShell 7' -Path 'C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe'
Set-PSUEnvironment -Id 3 -Type Isolated -PowerShellVersion stable -Virtual
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell-universal/powershell-commands/set-psuenvironment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
