Current Behavior

When PowerShell attempts to load the default $PROFILE, the following error is returned:

expected one of 'bash', 'bash-ble', 'elvish', 'export', 'fish', 'ion', 'nushell', 'oil', 'powershell', 'tcsh', 'xonsh', 'zsh' [was: ]
Invoke-Expression: C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1:266

     |                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Command' because it is an empty string.
Loading personal and system profiles took 24758ms.

Expected Behavior

The $PROFILE loads correctly.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Follow carapace setup instructions exactly after running winget install from Admin prompt.
2. Copy and paste code block into default "...PowerShell_profile.ps1" file.
3. Run PowerShell.

And now that I'm reading it, I'm thinking that optional line does not apply since I do not have zsh, fish or inshellisense installed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I take that back, removing the optional line makes no difference.
