Unable to find module providers - windows

Question

I'm having an issue with PowerShell. It's almost like it's not installed all the way; which is weird since it's Windows 10 and it ships with it.
With no lock, I've tried replacing the following directories with a fresh copy from another Windows 10 machine that is working:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\PackageManagement
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell
C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsPowerShell
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell
I also tried SFC /scannow, but it found no issues. I've searched for hours and haven't been able to find anyone with the exact same issue. Does anyone have any ideas?

The below returns nothing:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Answer 1

If your end goal is to install packages from Chocolatey or something similar with PowerShell you would want to perform the following.
To import the Module you would execute the following:
Import-Module PackageManagement
To install the package providers you would execute the following:
Install-PackageProvider -Name Chocolatey -Force
To find a package within the package provider Chocolatey you would execute the following (you could use wildcard for name to get all packages available):
Find-Package -Name SomePackageNameHere -ProviderName Chocolatey
Lastly, to install a package from Chocolatey you would execute the following:
Install-Package -Name SomePackageNameHere -ProviderName Chocolatey -Force
I hope this helps!

Looks like I solved the issue. I installed Chocolatey by using the CMD.exe method.
I ran CMD.exe as an administrator and ran the following command:
#powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
Now I have a PS Repository:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-PSRepository
Name PackageManagementProvider InstallationPolicy SourceLocation

PSGallery NuGet Untrusted https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/
I'm guessing something during the install of Chocolatey, repaired whatever was broken.
