In my case it's en-GB.\r\n\r\nRun Update-Help from an administrator command prompt. Then try getting help on a basic command like `help Update-Help -full`. It will tell you that the help files aren't installed.\r\n\r\nExpected behavior\r\n-----------------\r\nHelp files should be installed.\r\n\r\nActual behavior\r\n---------------\r\nHelp files don't get installed.\r\n\r\nEnvironment data\r\n----------------\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\n\u003e $PSVersionTable\r\nName Value\r\n---- -----\r\nPSVersion 6.0.1\r\nPSEdition Core\r\nGitCommitId v6.0.1\r\nOS Microsoft Windows 10.0.16299\r\nPlatform Win32NT\r\nPSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}\r\nPSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3\r\nSerializationVersion 1.1.0.1\r\nWSManStackVersion 3.0\r\n```\r\n\r\nI have worked around this by doing Update-Help -UICulture en-US, but I shouldn't have to do this. This command worked fine in Windows PowerShell.\r\n\r\nOne of the most amazing things about PowerShell is the rich help system. But if it doesn't work for a huge amount of users (anyone not in the US) then what's the point?\r\n\r\nSee this related issue: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/5534","author":{"url":"https://github.com/massimonewsuk","@type":"Person","name":"massimonewsuk"},"datePublished":"2018-02-22T11:51:55.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":24},"url":"https://github.com/6217/PowerShell/issues/6217"}
