Can't reproduce 🙁 I have tested multiple Windows 11 installations as well as Windows Server 2025 with different Powershell-Versions to upgrade from, but in any case the update went through without issue:

@simkoG - There may be a difference between the version of PowerShell that ships with Windows, and the version that is distributed through their GitHub. Does it work if you use winget install Microsoft.PowerShell --force ?

@Trenly tried --force, did not help. I've upgraded the package via standalone installer, that fixed it.
