Description

@fabio-muramatsu

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Powershell as admin
  2. Run Update-Help -Force

Expected behavior

Help files are installed and accessible when running Get-Help.

Actual behavior

Help files are not installed locally, and running Get-Help returns the message Get-Help cannot find the Help files for this cmdlet on this computer. It is displaying only partial help..

Observations

I was unable to reproduce this problem in 2 other systems, both running Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and the same version of Powershell, so I'm not sure if this is related to the affected system being on Creators Update. Any help would be appreciated.
