Issue Description

The PowerShell Interactive Console no longer accepts keystrokes sometimes. It’s very hit or miss but has happened to me a couple of times today.

Expected Behaviour

The interactive console continues to function.

Actual Behaviour

Typing doesn’t have any effect on the interactive console.

It’s using 1.4.6

import-module PackageManagement -passthru


ModuleType Version    Name                                ExportedCommands
---------- -------    ----                                ----------------

Since I have installed PackageManagement 1.4.6, I am no longer experiencing the issue. Using latest stable extension 2020.3.0.

@dbrennand thanks for the additional logs, version 1.0.0.1 of PackageManagement will still give you this issue, to update to the latest version where this is resolved please run Install-Module PackageManagement -Force -AllowClobber thanks!

Installed and testing right now

Installed. I’ve got logging and all that jazz enabled and will upload anything relevant when\if I run into the issue.

I wasn’t using the preview extension day-to-day. I installed it a couple of times but ran into issues so I was on the previous stable. So this is the first I’m seeing this behavior.

I can try the preview to see if I see it there.
