After an update to Windows 10 1703 x64 the doskey /macros don't work anymore, therefore no tools can be started via there alias.

The command doskey /macros show all the alias set for the tools within Pentestbox, but Windows could not start them.
I tried to set up an new alias with doskey manually in a new Windows CMD and it works.

I did an Windows 10 1703 update on another machine and I got the same strange behavior.

After some investigation the evildoer has been identified.
It is the clink plugin (https://github.com/mridgers/clink) that adds some command line features to PentestBox.
As soon as clink is injected to the CMD all added doskey macros won't work.

Same to me. Every time I launch the pentestbox I have to input "cmd" and press enter. It works now.
