Description
PowerShell Core (which I've called it here so it's clear what we are talking about) has been available since 2018 and is the future of PowerShell. Chocolatey package scripts require being written to support Windows PowerShell.
While Windows PowerShell is included in Windows Server 2025, which is [supported until 2034](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2025), we should support PowerShell Core when possible.
This issue will keep track of other raised issues around PowerShell Core:
* https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/1990
* https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/3590
These are also relevant:
* https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/2173
