I woke up this morning and got on my PC and I tried using the Windows key on my keyboard and nothing happened, so I tried to type into the search bar and nothing worked. This has never happened before and I tried using the run command and it doesn't work, this may be a virus since I recently tried installing a voice changer that didn't seem to work.

    Hi {Michael}_544

    How are you? I hope you are doing good.

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I am Juliet, an independent advisor. It's my pleasure to help you today. I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you :)

    I would suggest you try to Disable and re-enable Windows PowerShell.

    1. Press on Win+X hotkeys and select Control Panel.
    2. From Control Panel switch to category.
    3. From the list that’s displayed, it’s time to choose Uninstall – located under Programs.
    4. From the left panel of the main window click on Turn Windows features on or off.
    5. Scroll down and locate the Windows PowerShell entry.
    6. Uncheck the PowerShell feature.
    7. Save and apply your changes.
    8. Restart your Windows 10 computer.
    9. Afterward, repeat the steps from above and re-enable the Windows PowerShell feature.

    I hope it helps! Let me know the results.

    Please Let me know if you have more questions or the above method didn't work for you, I'll be more than happy to assist you further :)
