Cannot load PSReadline module.  Console is running without PSReadline.

Does this happen in the vintage console window (i.e. running powershell directly), or only in the Windows Terminal?

What version of PSReadline are you using? (Get-Module PSReadline)

no, it happens only in Windows Terminal.
and this command Get-Module PSReadline did not work in the windows terminal also.

but it works in normal PowerShell

That's certainly weird. How did you install PowerShell 6?

Out of no where I experienced this after running several software updates. I did not have an untrusted Microsoft certificate listed that's been suggested here. I traced this back to a profile reset which changed the execution policy to Restricted. Reverting it back to RemoteSigned solved it. Not sure what exactly caused a profile reset.

That did it - appreciate you!

Check your execution policy is set to Restricted or not. If it is Restricted, setting it to AllSigned solved the issue for me.

Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned

Installed latest PS and worked for me:

1. winget search Microsoft.PowerShell
2. winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell --source winget
3. set PS7 as default in vscode - https://stackoverflow.com/a/73846532/2377343
