If you don&#8217;t use this feature regularly, you should. Online help topics are&nbsp;typically the most up-to-date&nbsp;version of&nbsp;the help topics, because module authors can update them at any time without redistributing the module. Online help topics are especially critical for modules in the $pshome directory ($env\\SystemRoot\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0) which cannot be updated easily, because they are part of Windows.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PS C:\\&gt; Get-Help -Online Get-Command<br \/>-or-<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PS C:\\&gt; Get-Help -on Get-Command<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the Online parameter does not work on German versions of Windows. Get-Help gets the URI (Internet address)&nbsp;of the online help topic from the first link in the Related Links section of each in-box help topic. In our German help topics, the URI is followed by what was intended to be a helpful note. However, Get-Help interprets the note as a part of the URI and the command fails.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">RELATED LINKS<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Online version: <a href=\"http:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?LinkID=113324\">http:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?LinkID=113324<\/a> (m&ouml;glicherwei se auf Englisch)<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the helpful note says that the online topic might be in English, although it is truly in German.<\/p>\n<p>To notify users, I&#8217;ve added a note to the&nbsp;description of the Online parameter in&nbsp;U.S. English (en-US) and&nbsp;German (de-de) versions of the Get-Help topic&nbsp;explaining that the parameter does not work in German.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: The Online parameter of the Get-Help cmdlet does not work correctly with German (de-DE) versions of Windows PowerShell help topics.
