Answer 1

Use the -Wait switch on the Start-Process command.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/start-process?view=powershell-5.1

-Wait
Indicates that this cmdlet waits for the specified process and its descendants to complete before accepting more input. This parameter suppresses the command prompt or retains the window until the processes finish.

    if(-not($ifrun)){ break }
