Completely new to Powershell, using the default installation on Windows 10.
On my system, running Get-Verb gives me:
> Get-Verb un*
Verb Group
---- -----
Undo Common
Unlock Common
Unpublish Data
Uninstall Lifecycle
Unregister Lifecycle
Unblock Security
Unprotect Security
which is different from that from the tutorial I was watching (on Pluralsight) and on the Microsoft docs:
> Get-Verb un*
Verb AliasPrefix Group Description
---- ----------- ----- -----------
Undo un Common Sets a resource to its previous state
Unlock uk Common Releases a resource that was locked
Unpublish ub Data Makes a resource unavailable to others
Uninstall us Lifecycle Removes a resource from an indicated location
Unregister ur Lifecycle Removes the entry for a resource from a repository
Unblock ul Security Removes restrictions to a resource
Unprotect up Security Removes safeguards from a resource that were added to prevent it from attack or loss
I've also noticed that some other features seem to be missing, such as certain attributes; I am getting the error:
> Get-Verb -Group Security | Format-List
Get-Verb : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Group'.
At line:1 char:10
+ get-verb -Group Security | format-list
+ ~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-Verb], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Get-Verb
when in the manpages and the tutorial, the use of the -Group option is valid. My manpage seems to be missing the -Group option, i.e. it looks like this (compare with the version from the documentation):
> man Get-Verb
NAME
Get-Verb
SYNOPSIS
SYNTAX

What is the cause of this discrepancy?
Other details (may or may not be relevant):
- I installed .NET core and the RSAT tools recently, but I don't think they should cause this problem.
- I'm using Windows 10 Education N.
