I've been receiving notifications to install the latest Powershell on my Windows system, but I'm running into some errors during the installation process. Can anyone share which version you're currently using and any tips on how to successfully update?

I'm currently on version 7.4 because I found version 7.5 had some issues with Out-GridView. I haven't tried 7.5.1 yet, but I've heard mixed things about it. Do you actually use Out-GridView? I switched to Out-ConsoleGridView, and it's been working well for me!
Out-GridView does have dependencies, and it seems to be tied to `powershell_ise.exe`. If you’re having issues, check if you have that installed.
You can use `winget` to check for the latest version. Just run `winget search Microsoft.Powershell` and it should show version 7.5.1.0. To install the latest version, use `winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell --source winget`. That should do the trick!
If you're getting an error message, you might need to troubleshoot your installation process or check for any missing system requirements.
I tried 7.5.1 and had issues with the Quick Search feature in Out-GridView, but since I don’t really rely on it, it’s not too big of a deal for me.
