Sign upCommand Explorer never loads for Powershell ver. 7. It does load with 5.1 X64 #2949
Comments
This would likely be due to refreshing the explorer needs to pass off to PSES which is also what intellisense uses. So while the explorer is refreshing we can't get intellisense information. As for why it's not working on pwsh 7.0, I don't have the issue, and am currently on mobile so I can't look through the log. I'll take a look in a few hours when I'm back at a computer and see if it provides any hints. |

Which looks like you tried to refresh the Command Explorer window ~10 times in rapid succession. But then about 5 of them complete before the file ends abruptly. The part I don't see in the PowerShell 5 folder, but do see there is these failures:

One thing I notice while testing this, there used to be a "running" indicator in the status bar that spun when PSES was executing something. That indicator no longer seems to be there, and the Command Explorer is taking 10 - 15 seconds to execute the first time it runs. This makes it appear that nothing is happening, and the 10+ seconds feels a lot longer than when I initially implemented it (Although it could just be perceptions and it's always been that long) |

Thanks for investigating corbob. It does load after 20 seconds or so on some other machines - it's just something funky with my primary workstation I suppose. |

Issue Description
I am experiencing a problem with the powershell command explorer window. It never loads when I'm running powershell 7.0 as the PoSH version - but it will eventually load when 5.1 x64 is loaded. Intellisense will also stop working when I try to refresh the command explorer.
Expected Behaviour
Command explorer should load available commands.
Actual Behaviour
It never does.
