If I use the old PowerShell that came with Windows 11, it works. I don't know what's going on.

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
PS C:\Windows\System32> "$($PSVersionTable.PSVersion)"
5.1.22000.653

Must be some permissions thing.

I occasionally have this issue when reinstalling other apps if I keep File Explorer open to the app's folder while updating and often a reboot is the only solution. For some reason even if you delete the old app's folder manually, you won't be able to install the new version because creating the folder with the same name is denied.

Try using LockHunter, it can tell you which processes are locking the misbehaving folder and help you delete them on reboot as a last resort. Hope this helps.
