Running any PowerShell script crashes the terminal before it even launches

[jsantoro339as]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

Once I try to run vscode and it starts the PowerShell session, it always fails. I have uninstalled all extensions, then I have completely removed vscode including deleting any leftover components. Rebooted and reinstalled vscode. Once I opened the PS1 file it asked me if I wanted to install the PowerShell extension, I did and once installed it immediately crashes and fails with the error hell.EditorServices.Commands.StartEditorServicesCommand.EndProcessing()

My PowerShell script I am using to test is only containing the below line. get-childitem "c:\temp" -depth 0
