Weird Issue with "Enter"
So, I am running into this issue. It doesn't havppen in PowerShell but in PowerShell ISE. When I first open powershell ISE and type a command and hit enter, nothing happens. I hit enter a few more times, nothing happens. THen all of a sudden the command will run with a number of new prompts below it. It seems like the ISE is taking a pause. Anyone else run into this issue?

- Did this answer your question?
Sorry was on vacation for a week. No, my ISE is loaded when I type a command. It could be open for 20 minutes with multiple commands having been run but still stalls at each command.
- Ok, that's a lot 😞 Remove Windows ISE through Add/Remove Windows Features, reboot, add again, reboot and try again?
- When you start PowerShell ISE, you can type the command in the lower pane (the blue window pane). If you hit Enter, you will probably see Stopping Intellisense in the lower status bar. Meanwhile, the Module/Cmdlet window on the right is loading (The Command Add-on). The Stop button in the button bar (Red) can be pressed, so it's loading that... When done, you should be able to execute commands in the lower blue pane or run scripts by pressing Start/F5.
While typing and testing that, my ISE on my regular machine is relatively slow; on my other system, it takes about 5 seconds to get into a state where you can type and run commands...
I don't use ISE that much anymore since VSCode, but it's the initialization of the Module/Cmdlet window, I guess?
