• Refer to the FAQ.
• Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

When executing commands like:
echo 中文文本 | more
the output is garbled (涓枃鏂囨湰) because PowerShell's default $OutputEncoding is UTF-8, but native Windows console tools expect the console encoding (e.g. GB2312).
To improve compatibility, it is recommended that PowerShell by default sets:
$OutputEncoding = [System.Console]::OutputEncoding
unless the user explicitly overrides it. Because after executing $OutputEncoding = [System.Console]::OutputEncoding, commands like echo 中文文本 | more work correctly without garbled output.
This change would prevent common encoding mismatches in pipelines and improve interoperability with native Windows console tools.

Expected behavior

echo 中文文本 | more
中文文本

Actual behavior

echo 中文文本 | more
