    Good day Ezra! I am Independent Advisor Paul R. and also a Microsoft/Windows user like you and I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. I understand that you are having an issue with regards to PowerShell. Kindly check and try the below methods and see how it goes.

    Method 1:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    • Reboot your PC afterwards and check again PowerShell

    Method 2:

    • Press Windows key + X and click on Run
    • Type in optionalfeatures.exe and hit Enter or press OK
    • Look for Windows PowerShell
    • Uncheck or remove the fill from the box and then apply it and then restart your PC
