set AWS_PROFILE is not working for powershell

I have multiple profiles in my aws config file. Instead of adding --profile in each command, I want to set the profile to a particular profile before executing the commands. I tried using "set AWS_PROFILE profilename". It's working when I open new powershell prompt but I want in the same prompt. Sometimes it's not working even in new prompt.

          Setting AWS_PROFILE doesn't do anything at all for me. (Looks like there's an issue open for it.)



          You can achieve the same result with Set-AWSCredential -ProfileName [...] though. If you've already set the environment variable you can just do:



          Set-AWSCredential -ProfileName $env:AWS_PROFILE
