Try setting your language mode to FullLanguage like this:
$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode = "FullLanguage"
Run that as an administrator
This is what I got: Warning: PowerShell detected that you might be using a screen reader and has disabled PSReadLine for compatibility purposes. If you want to re-enable it, run 'Import-Module PSReadLine'.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode = "FullLanguage" Cannot set property. Property setting is supported only on core types in this language mode. At line:1 char:1
- $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode = "FullLanguage"
-
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertySetterNotSupportedInConstrainedLanguage
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Any more suggestions?By the way, thanks for your help. I'm sure we have "never been closer" to finding a solution. :)JMc

I see that the solution @CodingWonders have provided has worked. I'm happy for you, @zapdady
Do you mind closing this issue as being completed? Thanks in advance 😄

@og-mrk, I think that, as a way to prevent this problem, we should detect the language mode and check if it is constrained right at the beginning (obviously if the constrained language mode lets us do that in the first place!)

@CodingWonders, interesting... now after trying a bit on how to do this, I can see why it's such a challenge, I'll continue working on this, if you find anything that might help, feel free to post them here 😄
Now it isn't a major problem so to speak, you can say it's of a lower priority compared to other issues, as we could assume most of the users using this tool are Windows Power Users.. but at the same time, I for one (as a user) don't like "jumping through hoops" to fix something that isn't technically my fault, and if we can fix this issue entirely, users won't need to check for LanguageMode every time they want to run WinUtil script, which would be quite nice 😎
May I offer the following explanation as to why Chris's script stopped working for me?Please look at this YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW69MisrsWk&t=563sI followed the steps to disable these 3 Windows settings. After receiving the information from you guys, I went back in and reversed these settings back to default.After that reversal, everything worked as expected.I hope this brings to light, info interesting to you.JMc

@og-mrk, I have come up with a simple script that detects the language mode, and that might help you. Here is the link.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon; family asked me to administrate a Windows 11 system but it's locked into "S" mode for some reason and won't let me turn it off. The command mentioned higher up didn't work either, so I'm at my wits-end...
