Background
At my company, we use user documents redirection, causing my powershell user module folder to be located on a network share. In order to avoid issues with PSModule auto-loading, I remove $HOME/documents/WindowsPowershell/Modules from my modulepath and instead add $HOME/WindowsPowershell/Modules and have relocated all my user specific modules there. This isn't respected in vscode.
Expected Behavior
PS > $mydocs = [environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments')
PS > $pattern = [regex]::Escape($mydocs)
PS > $Env:PSModulePath = ($Env:psmodulepath -split ';' | where {$_ -notmatch $pattern}) -join ';'
PS > #Feel free to do whatever you'd like
PS > ($Env:PSmodulepath -split ';' | where {$_ -match $pattern}).count -eq 0
True
Actual Behavior
PS > $mydocs = [environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments')
PS > $pattern = [regex]::Escape($mydocs)
PS > $Env:PSModulePath = ($Env:psmodulepath -split ';' | where {$_ -notmatch $pattern}) -join ';'
PS > #Type into a document with language "PowerShell"
PS > ($Env:PSmodulepath -split ';' | where {$_ -match $pattern}).count -eq 0
False

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the issue in VS Code with the PowerShell extension, then trace where the extension initializes or updates PSModulePath. Done means removals from $Env:PSModulePath remain absent during PowerShell language support.
