Windows 11 Powershell - Most commands not working

Question

Hi!

I've been having the problem for a few weeks now, that my Powershell can no longer execute the majority of my commands.

This includes npm, nvm, and code (to start Visual Studio Code).

Git still seems to work, so does geth, but the rest is gone and I don't know what the problem is.

I've already "reinstalled" powershell, as well as checked my environment variables - everything seems fine there.

I should add, that I upgraded to Windows 11 a few days/weeks before the problem occurred. I think (but I'm not sure), that everything worked immediately after that.

For a while not even git worked out.

I have already reinstalled node.js.

Do you have any idea what this could be?

Thanks in advance!

Daniel

Answer 1

Does this help? Others having the same problem, but it doesn't seem to be specific to any version of PowerShell.

Answer 2

In those PS prompts, run these commands to verify that something isn't modifying the path after PS starts. Use where to search for those programs.

($env:path).split(';')
""
where.exe nvm 
where.exe code 
where.exe powershell
