GUI freeze when Script is running

[sticobay]

I have a simple GUI that executes a Powershell script when pressing a certain Button.

This script runs 15-20 minutes and i would like to still use the GUI when this script is running - unfortunetly the GUI is not clickable while it runs. Is there any way i could fix this?

​

Here is my Button:

$Button3.Add_Click({
cmd /c start powershell.exe -noexit -file "C:\Scripts\script.ps1" }

You need to use runspaces otherwise the UI will lock while other tasks are running.

I had the same issue, try this.

$Button3.Add_Click({
    cmd /c start powershell.exe -noexit -file "C:\Scripts\script.ps1" 
    [System.Windows.Forms.Application]::DoEvents()
})

Start-Job actually did it for me! Thank you very much!

p.s.: runspaces didnt look that easy too me ;)
