Windows Powershell installation instructions should use -NoProfile

What is the type of issue?

Something else

What is the issue?

Simply running powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex" does not work on a system with starship.rs installed because of a polyfill that gets loaded. This causes architecture detection to fail. The working command is:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"

Which skips loading anything that might interfere with the script.

Where did you find it?

I concur, I ran into the same issue although in my case I believe it was caused by a WinGet module.
