Windows 10: Why does PowerShell 7.0.1 Update-Help stall ?

In a PowerShell 7.0.1 prompt, when I type the following:


Update-Help -Verbose


it just sits there doing nothing. No error, nothing.

My environment:

• Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Version 1909 OS Build 18363.836
• $PSVersionTable output:

Name Value

---- -----

PSVersion 7.0.1

PSEdition Core

PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:
