I tried to run Windows PowerShell as administrator, it opens but then suddenly closed automatically. Please guide me

Can you share a copy of your %USERPROFILE%\Documents\PowerShell\profile.ps1 /?

Can you also provide some more information on what issue you're experiencing? The context is a bit difficult to follow since it's coming from another thread. Thanks!

Does running powershell normally (not as admin)work for you/?

We're probably still gonna need a copy of your powershell profile. You can find that at:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\PowerShell\profile.ps1

[owaisishtiaqsiddiqui]

No it opens and then got closed suddenly. This issue is same for (1) if I run it as admin (2) if I run it normally. Let me do the process which you advised me too. Please bear with me.

@zadjii-msft
looks the path of my PowerShell is: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

Attached image is the proof.

My dude, he is asking you for a copy of a specific file from your computer. We believe you that PowerShell is installed. We think you have a configuration that is making PowerShell fail to start.

I don't know what to do with this "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\PowerShell\profile.ps1" but there is no such folder of file that exits on this path.
but in the attached picture i tried searching the file, so if this is what he is asking for? please tell

[DHowett]

Thank you, that is very helpful information.

Can you try these two things, separately?

1. Change the Windows PowerShell profile to "never automatically close"? This will help us determine if there is a message being displayed before it exits.

2. Change the commandline to include -noprofile

[owaisishtiaqsiddiqui]

@DHowett are you referring to this?

[DHowett]

No. I gave you screenshots of what I was referring to.

[DHowett]

I see in your video that you are reporting a bug with Windows Powershell outside of Windows Terminal. I am sorry.

Can you open the Run dialog with Windows+R, and run powershell -noprofile?

I see that you are using some sort of education software. I wonder if it is "locked down."

[owaisishtiaqsiddiqui]

@DHowett Here I posted the video and screenshot of the error that shows up in the PowerShell.

[DHowett]

Thank you.

That error corresponds with "file not found."

Your Windows installation is damaged. Please run sfc /scannow and consider reinstalling Windows.

[owaisishtiaqsiddiqui]

Damn, that was what i fear the most, and it comes.
Thank you very much.

[owaisishtiaqsiddiqui]

The issue caused has been addressed and specific guidelines have been given by @DHowett. Thank you for sparing your precious time to address my problem.

[DHowett]

Thanks! I am sorry that it was complicated. 🙂

No problem, actually this issue arises when I installed Git Desktop app
