Originally created by @hakito on GitHub (Feb 10, 2020).

I recently did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. After some time I recognized that Ctrl-R (back-i-search) did not work anymore. I tried to follow instructions of #350 to resolve the problem. But when I tried to call Get-PSReadLineOption or Install-Module I got errors.

I also tried deleting the whole powershell folder c:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ and ran sfc /scannow but still ctrl-r is not working.

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.592]
Powershell Version (if applicable): 
Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
5      1      18362  145

Steps to reproduce

PS: C:> Install-Module

Expected behavior

cmdlet Install-Module at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Name[0]:

Actual behavior

Install-Module : The term 'Install-Module' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
