Able to reproduce on a relatively fresh install of Windows 10 Pro 1909.
See the notes in the installation documentation:
Once downloaded, you cannot simply double-click on the installer as this package requires use of un-virtualized resources. To install, you must use the Add-AppxPackage cmdlet:
Add-AppxPackage PowerShell-<version>-win-<os-arch>.msix
I think I remember that @SteveL-MSFT mentioned that this isn't something they're able to simply "resolve" for a downloaded MSIX, but will be a non-issue for releases that make it to the Windows Store proper.
Note that as mentioned in #10469, you will need to have Developer Mode enabled on your system to allow the cmdlet to be used in this way.
@vexx32 Could this be added to the README? Currently there aren't any instructions for the MSIX.
