I just updated to the Windows 10 2004 update, and I noticed right away that Powershell was behaving differently. Opening up a new powershell window at c:\ and typing

cd us<TAB>

With tab completion used to give me:

cd .\Users\

But now it generates:

cd .\Users

Without the trailing slash, meaning that directory navigation takes more keystrokes. I'm assuming that this is something that came in the latest update-has anyone found a way to revert this behaviour? Seems to be the same in standard powershell (via win+x) or windows Terminal.

OK, I feel kind of dumb for missing this, but in my defense, I'd gotten so used to tuning out the "try PS core" header that I just ignore everything before the prompt. Anyway, I noticed there was a warning on launching powershell: "Warning: PowerShell detected that you might be using a screen reader and has disabled PSReadLine for compatibility purposes."...

Re-importing PSReadLine fixed the issue. To fix permanently, I found this question that suggested setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Blind Access\On to 0, which worked.

Adding answer in case others stumble across the same issue. No idea why it thought I was using a screen reader after the upgrade, but things are back to normal.
