Internal Windows powershell error. Failed 80070002

  • 772

I have a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server with all current windows updates. I am attempting to run PowerShell but it gives the following error:

Internal Windows PowerShell error. Loading managed Windows PowerShell failed with error 80070002

It then promptly goes back to the cmd line.

I have run a sfc /scannow and it has come back clean.

I have tried running powershell -noprofile

    Uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Management Framework 4.0 (KB2819745) resolved the error.

  2. I used this script to test all the .NET folders

    @echo off
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL
for /D %%z in (*) do (
  echo %%z
  rename %%z %%z1
  powershell 'powershell works'
  rename %%z1 %%z
  pause
  echo.
)

    Out of 236 folders, the only one that gave me error 80070002 was

    Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost

    You can repair PowerShell likes this
