Modifying a PowerShell Prompt Title called from a Start-Process

Question

I am calling from one PS1 script to Start-Process to call another instance of PowerShell,&nbsp;This works as expected and the logs are being read in realtime which is what I need.But after 14 logs open, I have 14 PowerShell prompts with the same Title: Administrator: Windows PowerShell.&nbsp;I know you can modify it, and I do it for other scripts with no problems, but when passing commands to a new instance, as it seems it is not reading my $ScriptBlock as it should be.&nbsp;Any advice on what I may be doing wrong?&nbsp;See my code below:&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;#
Add parameters to the ScriptBlock
Set the PS window title prompt to the logs name
&gt;#

$ScriptBlock = {
&nbsp; $Title = "Test.log"
&nbsp; $host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $Title
}

# Start a new PS prompt executing reading a live logfile
Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList '-NoExit -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy ByPass $ScriptBlock; Get-Content Test.log -Wait -tail 10'&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you!&nbsp;

Johnnyboysydney&nbsp;Hithe title should be within the script block and also make sure to use a single quote not double quote&nbsp;$ScriptBlock = {
 $name='New Name '
  #$Title = "C:\PortQryV2\readme.txt"
  $host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $name
}

# Start a new PS prompt executing reading a live logfile
Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList "-NoExit -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy ByPass $ScriptBlock"
