I had trouble updating Power Toys, so I downloaded the installer. The installer won't work because Power Toys is already installed. However, it doesn't show up in my app list, so an uninstaller can't find it. I tried to restore the system from a disc image, but that didn't even get started. How can I get out of this situation?

I found the link, pasted the .ps1 text and hit enter. The prompt came right back. Did I do it correctly? Also, I saved a copy of the link to my desktop; is there any way to connect that link with the right-click menu, or should I try a repair install to fix the problem?
I also tried to reinstall Power Toys and got the same response as before. What do I do next?
Hi, Roger. Please, using the File explorer, go to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder. Here a Powershell shortcut must exists.
Check it properties. The target must be %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Let me know if you need anything else.
It requires elevation. Also, how do I reconnect PowerShell with the right-click menu? It doesn't show up in the App list.
Roger, please try to run Powershell by right clicking on Start button, then select run. In the run dialog box type powershell.exe and select the ok button.
Let me know if that works.
Now, I can't even open PowerShell; I get the message below. I've already run sfc and dism, but they didn't help. I'll run chkdsk and see what happens.
