Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that you are receiving an error when trying to access PowerShell. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.

However please let us know:

1. Does this issue occur with any other application?
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the computer prior to this issue?
3. Which build version of Windows is installed on the computer? To check, type winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.

I would suggest you to create a new user account on the computer, and see if that helps. Refer the article Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
