Problem with Powershell on Windows 10 #4

Webbrower on Windows uses "start link URL" which in Powershell on Windows 10 returns error "The system cannot find the file specified". After testing it seems the problem might be with link part.

This proposes many different answers, some (e.g. "Start-Process -Path URL") don't work any more or default to Internet Explorer.

This article seems to indicate that the right way to open URLs on Windows is start https://google.com.

I just checked on Windows 10, and start https://google.com seems to work on both Command Prompt as well as PowerShell.

I don't know enough about Windows to know how far back this would go, but am inclined to go ahead with this change. Please suggest if you have better ideas.
