    Have you saved the script in the editor pane to a file? Until you do you can't debug it. Once you save the script you should be able to place a breakpoint by using the F9 key.

    FYI, the PowerShell ISE is no longer a supported product. It'll still work, but there won't be any new versions or problem fixes.

    Check that you have the latest PackageManagement module installed: 

    get-installedmodule packagemanagement

    It should be version 1.4.7.

    Also, what's in your launch.json file for PowerShell?

    Look at the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Do you see "Session exited"?

    VS Code isn't a Microsoft supported product. You'll find support for it in places such as stackoverflow.com.
