I am facing an issue where both Windows PowerShell V1.0 and SharePoint Online Management Shell

Question

I am facing an issue where both Windows PowerShell and SharePoint Online Management Shell open briefly and then close immediately, even when I try running them as an administrator. I have attempted basic troubleshooting, including running PowerShell in safe mode, checking execution policies, and reinstalling the SharePoint module, but the issue persists.

Could you advise on any additional steps to resolve this

Hi @Jayesh Kashte,

Initially I recommend that you check if you are updated with the latest version of Windows 10. Press Windows key + i and go to Update and Security, click Check for updates and do ALL pending updates;

Then I recommend that you use the commands below in sequence:

Sfc /scannow
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /startComponentCleanup

Finally restart your PC and try running PowerShell again.
