> Thank you in advance for any assistance with this question.

> I’ve been trying to move from the cli to ISE for day-to-day interactive use of posh. However, I’m running into a small hassle. When I am in the ISE, I type "get-service -computer _computername_
>
> After I type the "-computer" parameter and then start typing the computer name, intellisense kicks in. I have to wait ten to fifteen seconds while the ISE seems to freeze before I can hit [enter], and execute the command. In the bottom toolbar in the ISE, I see "stopping inellisense". I assume the freeze is the ISE waiting for intellisense to finish its work.

> Hi Fred,
>
> Thanks for coming to the site for help. I’d like to find out a few quick things about your system and its history to see what possibilities there might be:
>
> 1. Are you running in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 RTM or are you using a downlevel system (Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 (R2))?
> 2. Have you previously installed any of the PowerShell 3.0 CTP/Release Preview bits on this system?
> 3. Are you seeing this issue in the embedded console for Intellisense and in the script editor, or just one or the other?
> 4. Does it happen every time, for multiple commands, or only with this specific use case?
> 5. If this is an upgrade from a system that had PowerShell 2.0 (i.e. a downlevel system), are you using any modifications for how PowerShell ise runs (like a config file to force .NET 4 to be used in PowerShell 2.0)?
> 6. Have you tried disabling (commenting out) your profile script so that you’re back to a clean slate?
> 7. What other PowerShell-related software do you have on this system, if any?
> 8. If you modify any of the Intellisense options in $psISE.Options (see $psISE.Options | gm _Intellisense_), are you able to work around this issue?
>
> Hopefully these questions will peel back the onion on this a little and help get us closer to figuring out what is going on.

> Is this really Kirk Munro? How cool is that!!

> Fascinating… I emptied my profile, and that resolved the issue. My profile only sets up some psdrives, and common functions, so I would not have suspected that, thank you. However, I do store some notes in the profile that are commented out. I use transcripts in my cli sessions, and start them automatically in my profile. Transcript behavior is different in the ISE, so I had put some notes in my profile about it. I found I had neglected to comment out the following section:
>
> #ISE - create a transcript:
> \+N ?—?creates a new script document tab
> \+\+O ?—?navigates to the Output pane
> \+A ?—?selects all of the commands and output in the Output pane
> \+C ?—?copies the whole Output pane contents
> \+I ?—?navigates to the Script pane
> \+V ?—?pastes the Output pane contents into the Script pane
> \+S ?—?initiates saving the output
>
> I commented those entries out, and now I don’t see the issue.
>
> I’m sorry for taking your time on this one… I should have been able to figure that out.
>
> Thank you again,
> Fred
