Suppress console output in PowerShell

powershell output suppress-warnings verbosity

Try redirecting the output to Out-Null. Like so,

$key = & 'gpg' --decrypt "secret.gpg" --quiet --no-verbose | out-null

powershell output suppress-warnings verbosity

Try redirecting the output like this:

$key = & 'gpg' --decrypt "secret.gpg" --quiet --no-verbose >$null 2>&1

powershell output suppress-warnings verbosity

It is a duplicate of this question, with an answer that contains a time measurement of the different methods.

Conclusion: Use [void] or > $null.
