PowerShell - Basics and Environment

You wrote this script in VS Code with PowerShell extension:

Write-Host "Start"
Write-Host "End"

But when you run it, only "Start" appears and then it stops. What is the likely cause?

AThe script has a syntax error stopping execution.

BWrite-Host only prints the first line.

CThe integrated terminal is not open.

DYou pressed Ctrl+C stopping the script after first line.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze script behavior
The script has two Write-Host lines, both valid and should print Start then End.
Step 2: Consider why only first line prints
If execution stops early, a manual interrupt like Ctrl+C is likely cause, not syntax or terminal issues.
Final Answer:
You pressed Ctrl+C stopping the script after first line. -> Option D
Quick Check:
Manual interrupt stops script early [OK]

Quick Trick: Check if script was manually stopped (Ctrl+C) [OK]
