Not sure what happened, but when I open windows 10 file explorer and goto the menu:
File->Open Windows PowerShell->Open Windows Powershell
Then it doesn't do anything. Meaning it doesn't open a powershell window. I just does nothing.
Strangely, it still works if I goto:
File->Open Wndows PowerShell->Open Windows Powershell as administrator
Any ideas how to fix this problem? Because it very handy to open
powershell window in the current file explorer directory:
windows-10 windows-explorer powershell

This is a Windows Explorer issue, not a PS specific thing. I'd suggest using System Restore a go back to a time where it was working. Now, using a restore will impact your current working state, so, you need to evaluate if it is worth that.

Does the problem exist regardless of the current directory Explorer has open? Are you able to open up Powershell from Run (Win+R, type "powershell", click OK)?
