Hello @Anonymous ,
I just tried running in a separate CMD window and it went past.

1. Open the command window in Admin Mode
2. Browse to the path where the script is placed
3. Run the script

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.
I can understand you are having some issues \ queries related to rerun or close a scripts after executed.

Using Exit will exit PowerShell too. If you wish to "break" out of just the current function or script - use Break.
For Example :

---

mytest.ps1

Write-Host " Please Read this before the PowerShell session closes!!"
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
Exit
