    Powershell Closing Immediately

    I've looked all of the the internet and I cannot find any information that applies to this situation.

    Powershell closes immediately upon starting. When I run it in Command Prompt I get the following:

    Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error:

    Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.String[]'.

    I have checked the following folders and no profiles exist:

    c:\users\me\appdata\microsoft\windows\powershell

    c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\ c:\windows\systwow64\windowspowershell\v1.0\

    I have tried to run with the following commands and have no luck:

    powershell -noclose

    powershell -noprofile

    I have run the following commands and have no luck:

    sfc.exe /scannow

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    I also have went to:

    Control Panel -> Uninstall a Program -> Turn Windows features on or off then,

    Removed Powershell, rebooted, then re-installed it.

    After doing all of these steps I still am not able to run Powershell.

    PowerShell closes immediately

    hi Rivgil,

    Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it.

    I tried to disable and reenable the PowerShell but it didn't work.

    I also opened the link you provided, but I think it's not the issue I have. On my side, PowerShell is not stopped working, it's opened but closed immediately.

    I also tried to open PowerShell on command prompt with admin mode by running the command 'powershell /', which gives me an error - A failure
    occurred during initialization: The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.LanguagePrimitives' threw an exception.

    PowerShell closes immediately

    Hi, this is . An independent advisor. Sorry if this may caused any trouble. I'll be more than willing to help. We'll try to disable and re-enable the PowerShell.

    Press on Win+X keys and select Control Panel.

    From Control Panel switch to category.

    And from the list that’s displayed choose Uninstall – located under Programs.

    From the left panel of the main window click on the ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ link.

    Scroll down and locate the Windows PowerShell entry.

    Uncheck the PowerShell feature.

    Save and apply your changes.

    Restart your Windows 10 computer.

    Afterwards, repeat the steps from above and re-enable the Windows PowerShell feature.

    If that didn't work, you can try some other steps in this link
