PowerShell PowerTip: ISE crashing and auto complete not working

Hi all, I’m going to start putting out these short PowerShell PowerTips every so often. They won’t be full blog posts, but they will be short and useful!

Have you been having issues with the ISE crashing and not auto completing since windows update 1803?

From what I’ve seen there is a fix for this coming, but if you need these features now you can try the 2016 ISE preview

To try it run as an admin and do this:

Install-Module -Name PowerShellISE-preview
ISEP

Then go ahead and pin it while you wait for the fix.

You can also check out VS Code

Happy PowerShelling!
