Steps to reproduce

With today's release of .NET 8, I updated Visual Studio 2022 to install .NET 8 and removed the .NET 7 runtime. After the suggested reboot, PowerShell 7 was broken, and reinstalling it didn't help:

Uninstalling the dotnet tool distributed version and using the WinGet distributed version was an effective workaround.

Expected behavior

PowerShell works.

Actual behavior

PowerShell crashes on launch.
