Update PowerShell version in Visual Studio 2017

I ran the following in the Visual Studio 2017 Package Manager Console - 

PM> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

 Major  Minor  Build  Revision
 -----  -----  -----  -------- 
 2      0      -1     -1

When I run the same command from a PowerShell window I get - 

PS C:\>  $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
4      0      -1     -1

This is causing me a problem because I want to run something in the package manager that requires PowerShell 3 or above.

I finally got it working. I updated Visual Studio 2017 to 15.3.3 (there was no update available when I posted the question), and I also installed a few Windows updates.

Here the two windows updates -
