yesterday went insure powershell , got message said powershell had caused problem , needed close. 

i tried reinstalling install came saying program installed. 

i tried rebooting machine see there 109 windows updates needed done. sheeesh. installed 109 updates, did multiple reboots, , still no joy. don't see anywhere in programs in features (or install windows components) can uninstall , reinstall.

anyone have suggestions. need powershell , running on machine. 

also, in case of help. have laptop issued client , installed windows powershell 5 without hitch , running top. don't think it's client's whole environment, believe problem unique machine.

hi michael,

try running .net repair tool. problems powershell launching related .net framework, make sure that's clean.

if still doesn't help, useful piece of info might be, whether can run version 2 variant (run "powershell -version 2" cmd prompt).

cheers , luck,
fred
