vscode-powershell: 'Unable to load DLL' exception on extension start

Issue Type: Bug

After installing PowerShell extension and opening a blank *.ps1 file, I immediately see the following exception in the Terminal window (PowerShell Integrated Console): Unable to load DLL 'api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-0.dll': The specified module could not be found.

Here’s the (verbose) logs:

Following this, a popup informs me “The language service could not be started”, with the output showing:
