Powershell || Cannot Change Cursor Shape

Question

Changing the Cursor Shape with the radio buttons in the powershell properties does nothing. Microsoft has hardly any documentation for editing the Powershell_profile.ps1, and zero references for commands that can be used to edit the Powershell terminal settings within the PowerShell_profile.ps1 file. All I have discovered how to do in this file is to change the window title of Powershell.
The default powershell cursor is horrible. How do I change it to where the changing the setting will actually do something?

The PSReadLine module seems to be resetting the console properties every time when you change. Run Remove-Module PSReadLine to remove the module, console properties including cursor shape/size/colour would stay, but you will lose ReadLine features.
