The file microsoft.powershell.graphicalhost.ni.dll is a Native Image (NI) file generated by the .NET Framework optimization tool (Ngen.exe). It belongs to the Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE). Errors usually happen because of file corruption or broken .NET optimization caches.

Here is how to fix it without downloading anything from the internet.

Method 1: Rebuilding the .NET Optimization Cache

Since this is an automatically generated "Native Image" file, you can force Windows to delete the broken cache and recreate it.

1. Press Windows Key + X and select Terminal (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Type the following command and press Enter to clear and reset the .NET optimization queues:

   ngen update

3. Wait for the process to finish completely. This might take a few minutes.
4. Restart your computer.

Method 2: Repairing System Files (SFC and DISM)

Windows has built-in repair tools that will find the original, healthy copy of PowerShell ISE components in your system backup and restore them.

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Run the deployment image repair tool first by typing:

   DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

3. Press Enter and wait for the progress bar to reach 100%.
4. Next, run the system file checker by typing:

   sfc /scannow

5. Press Enter. If it finds corrupt files, Windows will fix them automatically.
6. Restart your computer.

Method 3: Resetting PowerShell ISE via Windows Features

If the files are deeply corrupted, you can turn off PowerShell ISE to delete its components, then turn it back on to reinstall it cleanly from the local Windows component store.

1. Press Windows Key + R, type optionalfeatures, and press Enter.
2. Scroll down until you find Windows PowerShell.
3. Expand the folder and uncheck Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment.
4. Click OK and restart your computer when prompted.
5. After rebooting, open optionalfeatures again.
6. Check the box for Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment again.
7. Click OK and let Windows reinstall it from its internal backup.
