It seems the PowerShell Core 7.5.0 update will install itself as an update over PowerShell 7.4.x. Right now the PMPC PowerShell 7.4 LTS is 7.4.7.0, and I tried multiple times across different computers and it's consistent in the behavior that it upgrades it to the 7.5. It feels like the install for 7.5 itself might be broken, but I also do not think it should detect and upgrade from 7.4.
for us this is all Intune only managed no SCCM.
For our environment this actually breaks PowerShell 7, it will not load, it opens, fills the screen with this, pauses for a few and then closes.
Using my test VM I installed the PMPC 7.4 version and then made the update available for my computer and ran it via company portal so I could recreate logs.
PowerShell 7.5.0
Same behavior on Windows 10 and 11.
