Prerequisites

[X] I have written a descriptive issue title.
[X] I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
[X] I have read the troubleshooting guide.
[ ] I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.

[ ] If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

Probably the wrong place to post this but following a trail of advice. :-)

Reported issue in PSReadline. Was advised to install latest version of PowerShell. https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/4243

Instaled version 2.3.6 from link provided. updated PowerShell to 2.3.6 . The latest version. Windows system32. Rebooted machine. Reopened Visual Studio Code. Shell integration failed to activate. Was advised in email chain to procede here.

*** However

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

Cannot load PSReadline module. Console is running without PSReadline. PS C:\Users\yorke>

Have not tried installing pscore6 as awaiting advice on best way forward. Concerned installing pscore6 might make things worse.
