[Ctrl]+[F1] on a keyword in the editor window leads to a Security Warning dialog in the terminal window

コンテキスト ヘルプのエントリ ポイントである Ctrl+F1 から開始し、Invoke-WebRequest を呼び出すリクエストを追跡します。Windows PowerShell 5.1 で警告を再現し、その後、Security Warning を表示せずにコンテキスト ヘルプが既定のブラウザーで開くことを確認します。

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

When pressing [Ctrl]+[F1] on a keyword in the editor window ...

Expected:
The default browser opens with contextual help for the keyword

Actual:
The terminal window presents a Security Warning dialog that has to be answered positively before the browser opens:

Security Warning: Script Execution Risk
Invoke-WebRequest parses the content of the web page. Script code in the web page might be run when the page is parsed.
      RECOMMENDED ACTION:
      Use the -UseBasicParsing switch to avoid script code execution.

      Do you want to continue?
      [Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "N"):

This seems to stem from a PowerShell security update from December 2025 that adds the warning before running Invoke-WebRequest without -UseBasicParsing
