Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'c' does not exist
I ran into this problem today. I have reduced my script to nothing but gci 'c:\' and it is throwing this error.
Get-PSPath clearly lists a C drive and I have not experienced any other significant PowerShell issues until today.

The root of my issue appears to be a Windows 10 bug.
I had copied a path from the Security tab of the Properties dialog for a folder. This field now contains a non-printable character at the start.
Interestingly, when I copy/pasted it into my browser for this question, it got stripped out. The only way to diagnose it was to convert it to hex in Notepad++.
