and the following warning appears:

And if I open the link I get version 7 which I already have installed.
Is there a solution to avoid this warning?
Thank you

If you start cmd.exe , type powershell.exe -noprofile . Does the error still occur?

[#3]

yes, i get the same result..

[#4]

And when you logon to the same computer with another account?

[#5]

Any update?

[#6]

Sorry for the delay, unfortunately I don't have another account..
but yesterday i uninstalled powershell 7 and terminal, i reinstalled only powershell 7, but if i run powershell.exe -noprofile it still gives me error...

[#7]

Ok.. Just to clarify things for me:

- Powershell 5.1 (powershell.exe) doesn't start at all? Or it does and in background the error is logged?
- Powershell 7 (Which you can start from a command-line as pwsh.exe) does work?

[#8]

Although I have not installed version 5.1 in the apps, running the powershell.exe command it starts, but with error id 300.
while version 7 boots normally without errors.

[#9 · Accepted solution]

5.1 is included/is part of the Windows OS, it gives an error, and you can't do anything or? Powershell_ise.exe does work?

Personally I don't use 5 that much anymore, 7 is the future . Reinstalling your system isn't an option?

[#10]

Patience... Powershell_ise.exe is not installed
I'll think about reinstalling!
Thank you

HI,

More than a year after reporting the problem, I continue to receive the same PowerShell warning despite everything working normally and all versions being up to date.

Maybe with this new information we can better understand the problem.

I know it doesn't affect the functioning, but I'm a bit picky...

Thanks for any help.

[#12]

I still don't know, but the screenshot you posted was from a Windows Update scan-something?

[#13]

No, it's the description of PowerShell event Id 300 in the event log!
thanks

Thanks for your solutions!!
