I would have expected to get the same "type" from both of the following commands. The second prepends the type name with "Selected."

The second reveals a different type.

Using Select-Object with the -Property parameter outputs an object with the selected properties.
To get a "bare" property value, use the -ExpandProperty parameter instead.

I try to export the XML of a Clustered Scheduled Task.
I search for the function as Export-ScheduledTask has for non Clustered Tasks.
Maybe there is a way via CIM when i execute a Get-ClusteredScheduledTask I get this.
But I have no idea how to query this
CimClass : Root/Microsoft/Windows/TaskScheduler:MSFT_ClusteredScheduledTask
CimInstanceProperties : {ClusterName, CurrentOwner, Resource, TaskDefinition...}

Just trying to find out how do we get the count of running services through powershell script. I know Get-Service will give us list of all the processes on the system and (Get-Service). Count will give the count. But question is how do we find the count of only Running Services in the system? I simplified the filter criteria to get the list of only running services which is Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Running"} BUT NO LUCK WITH THE COUNT OF THOSE SERVICES.
TL;DR
(Get-Service | Where-Object Status -eq "Running").Count
Have you heard of the Get-Member CmdLet?
If not; get reading up on it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/get-member?view=powershell-6
Gets the properties and methods of objects.
I find this one of the most useful commands in situations similar to this. Get used to using it as it will come in very handy!
How does that help you? Well...

Take a quick look at the properties available (Get-Service | Get-Member -MemberType Property) - spot anything useful?
(Get-Service | Where-Object Status -eq "Running").Count
Why does Sort-Object produce different objects when -Descending is used? The NoteProperty members are not the same.
Also, when writing to the console, the Name property does not appear unless -Descending is used. Why is that?

This is not a cmdlet that is natively part of PoSH. It's either something the OP wrote or got from another source. If from another source than the OP should reach out to that author to ask what is to be expected.
If you do this same things using a built-in cmdlet, say Get-Date, we see all members are the same.

So, would seem to point specifically to the implementation of this cmdlet the OP is looking for clarity on.
It is possible that your GetType invocation results in an array starting with $null as it has a try-catch block providing an error value of $null. Then, should any parameters be passed to the Get-Type, that null would be filtered out, but you pass none, so null is still present in the output. Then, as the result is piped to Select-Object, only the first object in the pipe is parsed to check if all the columns are present to display, and should the null be the first object, it has no properties thus nothing gets displayed.
To fix, add the | Where-Object {$_ -ne $null} into the Get-Type.ps1 script right before | Where-Object -FilterScript $WhereBlock in the last significant line. This will filter out any nulls produced by previous try-catch block, and you will only get an array of objects that have values.
I want to store just the value of a PowerShell object in a variable.
Example
If we run:
$time = Get-Process System | select TotalProcessorTime
$time
This is the current output:
TotalProcessorTime
------------------
00:03:22.8281250
This is the output I would like:
00:03:22.8281250
Discussion
How do we store just the value? If we run $time | Get-Member, we see that PowerShell has stored a Selected.System.Diagnostics.Process that has the following properties:
Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()
GetType Method type GetType()
ToString Method string ToString()
TotalProcessorTime NoteProperty System.TimeSpan TotalProcessorTime=00:03:22.8281250
I have tried getting the value by running both $time.TotalProcessorTime and $time.ToString() without success.
The Object which produces that string "00:03:22.8281250":
(Get-Process System).TotalProcessorTime
The string itself:
(Get-Process System).TotalProcessorTime.ToString()
I have (yet another) powershell query. I have an array in powershell which i need to use the remove() and split commands on.
Normally you set an array (or variable) and the above methods exist. On the below $csv2 array both methods are missing, i have checked using the get-member cmd.
How can i go about using remove to get rid of lines with nan. Also how do i split the columns into two different variables. at the moment each element of the array displays one line, for each line i need to convert it into two variables, one for each column.

There is no Remove or Split method on .NET's Array type, or added by the PowerShell wrapper around an Array instance. This is quite easy to show:

Arrays in .NET, and PowerShell, are fixed size. To remove an element you need to copy all but the element to be removed, in PSH this can be done with Where-Object:
$newArray = $oldArray | Where-Object {some-condition-on-$_}
Similarly Select-Object with -First and -Skip parameters can be used to select elements before or after (resp3ectively) an index.
NB System.Array does implement System.Collections.ILst but the explicit implementation of IList.Remove just throws a NotImplementedException.
