Powershell `Set-MpPreference` not recognized - powershell

On running Set-MpPreference -DisableScriptScanning 1, I'm getting:
The term 'Set-MpPreference' 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
+ Set-MpPreference -DisableScriptScanning 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've gone through the following threads, but nothing seems to work:
Add-MpPreference is not recognized as a name
Powershell Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true not working
I'm using Powershell v5.1 on Windows 7.
What could the reason be?


Have you tried
Import-Module Defender
I am not sure if the module exists on Windows 7 yet tough...


Use 64bit Powershell:
C:\windows\sysnative\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe

How do I add exclusions to Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE, Windows 7) through a powershell script?

I need to be able to add antivirus exclusions to MSE on Windows 7 using a powershell (or cmd) script. If I use:

Pipe more doesn't seem to be working in Powershell v4.0

I'm trying to run a command that displays several screens of text and I'm trying to use the more command, but it doesn't seem to be working.
When I try to use a command like this:
Get-Help Get-Alias -full | more
I get an error that says this:
more.com : The term 'more.com' 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.

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Turns out that powershell.exe was not in the path.
