So i am having trouble with powershell when trying to install or update any module

I had an issue with changing the execution policy so I downloaded the PowerShell 7 zip and replaced all from it with the default install of PowerShell 5.1

now I can not install or update any module and the previous issue is not resolved until I import the older version of the execution module from system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules

I am pretty sure that most other commands are broken too and I haven't stumbled on them yet

Can you help me fix this issue by giving me the default modules in Win 11, PowerShell 5.1 comes with

Or is there a way to download them again
I tried using the Nuget gallery but I got this error

The term 'Install-PackageProvider' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,

script file

I do have a Package provider module tho and its commands are not recognized due to the above reason

All help is appreciated

    Hi,

    The Install-PackageProvider cmdlet is part of the PackageManagement module which comes with PowerShell. Please first check to see if the PackageManagement module is still available.

    Get-Module PackageManagement -ListAvailable

    If the module is listed, try importing it manually.

    Import-Module PackageManagement

    If not, please reinstall PowerShell 7.
