@leoniDEV,

Just an FYI

If you type "pwsh", it work!

If you type PowerShell, and you have a PowerShell folder name, then it goes to the PowerShell folder.
If you want to open a Windows PowerShell Console, then you'll need to type "PowerShell.exe".

I don't think is a bug as typing powershell won't open PowerShell Core.

:)

The bug isn't that typing powershell in the address bar won't open Powershell Core, but to me the bug was that if Powershell Core is installed you can't run Windows Powershell typing powershell in the address bar of Windows Explorer.

Anyway this issue can be closed as now I know that need to add the .exe extension to run powershell

Thanks for documenting these work-arounds. Whether it's technically considered a bug or not, I'm kind of annoyed that installing PowerShell Core changed the default behavior of my OS......
