Steps to reproduce
This is a dupe of #12997 which was closed.
- Set up invocation of powershell.exe in some sort of non-PS tool.
- Example below of a bat with New-Guid (different between PS versions)
- Invoke the bat from pwsh.
example.bat
echo %psmodulepath%
powershell.exe "$env:PSModulePath -split ';' | Select-String 'PowerShell'; New-Guid"
Expected behavior
Powershell.exe instance does not contain `C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7`Actual behavior
Powershell.exe still has PS7 values in PSModulePath and New-Guid throws an error. This is in a pwsh.exe window.
