Issue Description

The information pain shows “Starting Powershell Session Menu” and an error inside: “Running the contributed command: ‘PowerShell.ShowSessionMenu’ failed.”

Should note, when disabling the preview powershell extension, and enabling the version 2020.6.0 this problem goes away

Already followed this thread and set execution policy of the current user to unrestricted without any luck. https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/issues/2895

Expected Behaviour

The Powershell language server should load with no errors

Actual Behaviour

Seems not all functionality of powershell extension is available in this state.
