Description

@msftrncs

Steps to reproduce

On a Windows machine, in a location which utilizes Previous Versions, request the previous versions, specifically of a folder. Select a previous version of the selected folder, and then press the 'Open' button.

(In my case I was on a mapped network drive, of a Windows 2012 R2 file server)

Expected behavior

Windows Explorer opens a view of the folder in its previous state.

Actual behavior

PowerShell 6 opens at the selected location and point in time instead.

Environment data

Windows 10 1803
PowerShell 6.1.0

I believe this is happening as I chose the option during installation of PowerShell 6.1 to enable the PowerShell context menu on folders.

When PowerShell opened, I simply commanded START . and Explorer opened up the view of the folder instead. I actually opened the folder multiple times to insure the same result, I was so caught by surprise.
