Summary

I ran into this issue when my VSCode debugger broke after an VSCode update. After some troubleshooting I discovered that the issue originates from PowerShellEditorServices. When starting Editor services, the console hangs on a never ending blinking cursor.

Iniziate con il percorso Import-Module e i comandi Start-EditorServices riportati, riproducete il blocco in un normale terminale e tramite VSCode 1.96.0. Raccogliete l'output o i log di avvio, poiché il report non ne include alcuno, e individuate il punto in cui Editor Services smette di rispondere. Il lavoro è completato quando Start-EditorServices termina senza lasciare il terminale con il cursore lampeggiante.
