Get-Item for files outputs PSObject instead of FileSystemInfo after Get-WmiObject #12014
Description
Get-Item normally outputs System.IO.FileInfo or System.IO.DirectoryInfo objects for the FileSystem provider. After invoking Get-WmiObject, however, Get-Item outputs PSObject objects instead. This causes binding to any command expecting one of the specific FileSystemInfo types to fail.
