X Title: Fix Update-Help failing silently with implicit non-US culture. by dkaszews · Pull Request #17780 · PowerShell/PowerShell

Description: PR Summary HelpCultureNotSupported is caught and ignored with implicit culture (-UICulture not given explicitly, defaults to system) to allow trying again with culture's parents. It does not however check if there are any more fallbacks, so all errors of this type are completely silenced. I store first error of this type, then show it if none of the fallbacks succeed, Fixes #17696 PR Context Update-Help with implcit culture fails silently on non-US systems (en-GB in my case), with no feedback on what is wrong even when using -Verbose. With this fix, the user is shown the same error as with explicit -UICulture (Get-UICulture), which clearly describes what they should do: Update-Help: Failed to update Help for the module(s) '...' with UI culture(s) {en-GB} : No UI culture was found that matches the following pattern: en-GB. Verify the pattern and then try the command again.. English-US help content is available and can be installed using: Update-Help -UICulture en-US.
