Hello,
After the write-progress command sometimes my Powershell console freezes and I have to press a key to continue.
How can this be fixed?
Thanks for your help,

Re: PowerShell Console freeze
Please note that you are posting in a SAPIEN community forum. This appears to be a repeat of a general PowerShell question.
As there is little context or information it is unlikely that someone will answer here.
If this is related to a SAPIEN product in some way, please make sure to post in the related product forum.
If this is a general PowerShell problem, a Microsoft forum more specific to the PowerShell version used might be a better fit for your question.

Re: PowerShell Console freeze
Update PowerShell: Use the latest version to avoid bugs.
Reduce Updates: Update the progress bar less frequently, e.g., every 10 iterations:
if ($i % 10 -eq 0) { Write-Progress -Activity "Processing" -PercentComplete $i }
Disable Progress Bar: Skip updates by setting $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'.
Try Another Host: Use Windows Terminal, PowerShell ISE, or VS Code.
Force Refresh: Add [console]::CursorVisible = $false to refresh the console.
