I cannot launch powershell at present. If I open an Administrator Command Prompt and type `powershell`, nothing happens.


Consulting event viewer reveals that there has been an Application Error, the faulting application is indeed, powershell.exe and the faulting module is named as bcryptPrimitives.dll. Associated exception code is c0000005 which I believe is an access violation.
