I m following this tutorial to automate the creation of release notes using the wiki in Azure DevOps. Steps are very basic and there are not many variables that I believe would cause the error.
When I create a release it runs and then fails at the PowerShell task. This is what is displayed in the log and with the error:
[error]The term powershell.exe is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I have replaced my agent name with [myLocalAgent] in the log

I have searched on the web and there are references to incorrect spelling due to spaces in the file name (no spaces in my file names) or an incorrect path that is referenced (my PowerShell is inline/autogenerated).
Would appreciate any assistance.
Thank you in advance.
