Powershell not exiting properly from a script running on a remote device

Anonymous

We run powershell script through Vmware Vcenter API on the target VM in every 5 mins to collect some data. We noticed in one of the VMs on 19th that one powershell.exe was consuimg 45% CPU , when we checked the powershell logs we saw that the process is alive from around 4 days.

We have a .wer file from that powershell , we need help to analyze what went wrong and what can be the possible causes of it
