Issue Description
I am experiencing a problem with the powershell command explorer window. It never loads when I'm running powershell 7.0 as the PoSH version - but it will eventually load when 5.1 x64 is loaded. Intellisense will also stop working when I try to refresh the command explorer.
Expected Behaviour
Command explorer should load available commands.
Actual Behaviour
It never does.

Research direction
Start with docs/troubleshooting.md and inspect the attached LOGZIP.zip. Reproduce the Command Explorer failure with PowerShell 7.0, then compare it with PowerShell 5.1 x64 and observe the IntelliSense behavior after refresh. Done means the explorer loads available commands and IntelliSense continues working under PowerShell 7.
