Suggestion [3,General]: The command psql was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\psql". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.

So this is about a command that is not recognisable from the directory you are.

From the image above you will see that I am a sub folder inside PostgreSql. Inside that bin folder, there is psql.exe which my command meant to reference.

To correctly refer to this I need to specify it in the command, hence, *.*, which refers to the current working directory, like in the image below.

From this image, you will that I am now able to proceed as the error did not prompt.
