You mean the 0-key on the numeric keypad is the insert key when num-lock is off.

+1 for pressing Tab. I was wondering why overtype kept getting triggered in Powershell... It's because I press Tab all the time for autocomplete

Also make sure "Insert mode" is ticked in the Powershell settings

This is what saved me quickly without spending more time than necessary on any of the other answers. I have no Insert key and had accidentally hit the 0 on the numeric keypad. I just hit it again, and bingo-bango, the day is saved.

Num Lock is just that - it locks the numbers on. Like Scroll Lock and Caps Lock.
