Thanks @kborowinski we are having some trouble reproducing this issue, and are not seeing anything interesting in the logs (thanks for providing those!), are you also seeing this issue one PowerShell 7? It would also be great to know if you have hit this in the past with other versions...in all likelihood we may need to add more logging to debug this. Thanks!

@SydneyhSmith Good tip with the PowerShell 7. The PowerShell Integrated Console starts correctly on PS 7.2 (daily). I've also noticed that when the console hangs during startup on PS 5.1, switching PowerShell session to 7.2 and then back to
5.1 unfreezes the console.

Edit: I don't have this issue on Preview 2021.4.1.

That's helpful, this does seem to repro specifically with Windows PowerShell 5.1. Hm...will have to debug.

[PrzemyslawKlys]

This bug makes preview extension 90% useles in PowerShell 5.1 😭 It does work from time to time

[andyleejordan]

I'll make sure it doesn't find it's way into stable 😓
