Powershell 6 or later is required. Cannot continue.

[cap3r5]

I keep getting a "Powershell 6 or later is required. Cannot continue." It seems the miners are not downloading. I have installed 6.0 6.0.2 6.2.1 and even 7 with no luck. I have also run the start.bat with admin privileges. I have tried running it without modifying the address or settings at all and I still get the same error. I have installed both 64bit and x86 versions of powershell too.

What could I be doing wrong?

Can you run any other powershell script?

Maybe your security setting disallow execution of powershell scripts.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/set-executionpolicy?view=powershell-6
and try Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

I have the same issue on one computer. I have Powershell 7.2.1.0, Execution Policy is RemoteSigned, .NET Framework is 4.5 and 4.5.1. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. On one machine, Multipoolminer works. On the other machine, same Windows version, same PS and .NET versions, Multipoolminer does not run, I get the error listed above. I am able to run other Powershell scripts, both as a user and as an administrator. Does anyone have a useful suggestion?
