All powershell versions dont work

[leosordai]

Windows Terminal version

1.20.11381.0

Windows build number

22000.2538

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

well there really isnt a step to reproduce this because its a personal issue with powershell that others did experience too but they didnt have a solution that worked for me, all i did was open powershell and it just closed immediatly after that

Expected Behavior

I was expecting powershell to open and work completely fine

Actual Behavior

Poweshell from windows opened but it closed immediatly so i tried downloading other versions of powershell like powershell 7 it opened but it said :
Process terminated. The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState' threw an exception.

so im really frustrated about this because i tried everything my mind could think of.

I'm sorry, this might be better suited for the PowerShell repository. However, I wonder if your PATH environment variable contains data that PowerShell is unable to parse.

Can you open Command Prompt and run the command path?

yes it was basically that I fixed it, i created a path folder and for some reason it was like locked so i removed the lock in enviorment variables and it worked (im not very good at explaining and I dont know alot about terminal and all that, thank you anyways for the information!
