    I stand corrected. I just wanted to post back, for anyone else that may encounter the same issue. In CCleaner's Context Menu Editing options, there was a 'cmd' listed on my machine. After this issue came back (upon updates), I spent a few hours and stumbled upon this option. I had it set to 'Disabled'. Immediately after I set it to 'Enabled', the options reappeared in Windows Explorer (File > Open Command Prompt Here (and PowerShell)). Sorry for the incorrect information previously.

    Open Windows PowerShell in Windows 10

    Hi Shawn I just noticed this Tutorial today, I know another way to open PowerShell from the file explorer window.

    In the address bar of file explorer instead of typing the path to Powershell just type powershell and that will open powershell in whatever folder you have open in file explorer.
