Calling Get-Item on the root of a provider should return an item.

it does for these commands:

Get-Item C:\
Get-Item HKLM:\

But not for this command

Get-Item Cert:\

Behaviour is the same as it was in 5.1. I suspect it has always been this way.

I am only creating this issue because I corrected a test in #6256 for #6245 that was malformed. It then started to fail on the assumption that Get-Item would give it an object in that case. I adjusted the test to no longer check the Cert:\ path.

Steps to reproduce

Get-Item Cert:\
Get-Item C:\
Get-Item HKLM:\

Expected behavior


Name : CurrentUser

Name : LocalMachine

    Directory:


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
d--hs-        2/25/2018   5:48 PM                C:\

    Hive:
