How to fix powershell after installing VS Code - powershell

Question

I already was asking a similar question here: https://superuser.com/questions/1613630/most-of-powershell-commands-not-working?noredirect=1
Basically, I wasn't able to fix the issue so I got a replacement computer. Brand new. Started setting it up and only did the following:
Installed VS Code
Turned on Powershell extension in VS Code
It prompted something about Package Manager needing an update or it will not work properly
Asked me to install NuGet to get the Package Manager
After that PowerShell 5.1 stopped working again.
Modules not autoloading, fresh instance of powershell does this:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Write-Host
Write-Host : The term 'Write-Host' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify
that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Write-Host
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Write-Host:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Any ideas?

This fixed it for me:
(Get-Module -ListAvailable).Name | %{Import-Module -Name $_ -Force}
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol=[Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Install-Module -Name PackageManagement -Force -RequiredVersion 1.4.6 -Scope AllUsers -AllowClobber -Verbose
Then if the last command doesn't install NuGet do this:
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
