Hi,

I’m wondering if there is a way to start a new PowerShell window using the same credentials/session?  
Ex.: I opened PowerShell and connected to Office 365/Exchange Online. And want to start a new window that uses the same session, so I can do a separated process.

Tried the “start-process powershell” but it didn’t came with the session.

The simple answer to your question is no. if you want multiple PowerShell consoles connected to Office365 each will be an individual session
