Description
On Windows 10 x86 64bit, ROS tools like roscore, rostopic, etc. all work fine with Command Prompt. But when I run roscore with PowerShell, I see the following:
(ros) PS C:\Users\Binit Shah> roscore
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\envs\ros\Library\bin\roscore", line 36, in <module>
from rosmaster.master_api import NUM_WORKERS
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rosmaster'
rostopic, rosservice, and the others show similar ModuleNotFoundErrors.

Research direction
Start by reproducing roscore and the related rostopic and rosservice commands in PowerShell and Command Prompt on the reported Windows setup. Inspect the roscore entry point at C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\envs\ros\Library\bin\roscore and the rosmaster.master_api import; done means the ROS tools run in PowerShell without ModuleNotFoundError.
