Hey Sapien Team,

After installing the last update (5.2.118) the CacheBuilder is showing a window for each cmdlets getting updated via Get-Help

Let me know if you need more information

We are looking into it. We had to change the way modules are loaded due to a bug in Powershell. Otherwise it would not say which functions are exported. I suspect that getting the synopsis triggers the get-help update. Running Update-Help beforehand might help.

I'm currently unable to reproduce this, which version of PowerShell are you running?

Thanks guys for the quick answer, this is not a big issue.

Here is the output of $psversiontable

June says this might be a problem with Powershell's Get-Help. We are looking if we can suppress at least the progress popup. But we cannot prevent the full text search it does, It might just take a little longer than usual to cache everything.
