My installation of Terminal from the Windows Store gives me the choice to open tabs of PowerShell Core (I have v7 installed separately), PowerShell, CMD, and Ubuntu. All work as I would expect, except for the native PowerShell. To be clear, when I choose PowerShell Core, it opens Core v7 Preview; the other choices also work, as expected. However, the PowerShell item does not initiate a native PowerShell 5 tab, as expected; instead it opens another tab for PowerShell Core 7. I tried changing the path for the Powershell entry in Settings, but when I set the full path, Terminal no longer executed at all.
