Q: 

Long Running Powershell Script Freezes

Dear PowerShell users of SO,

We are using a long running PowerShell script to perform a lot of small operations that can take an extremely long amount of time. After about 30 minutes the scripts froze. We were able to get the scripts to start running again by pressing Ctrl-C which caused the scripts to resume execution instead of killing the process.

Is there some sort of script timeout or mechanism that prevents long running scripts within PowerShell?

Thank you for your help.

A: 

I have not had any responses to this question after a really long time. I am going to assume it was something wrong with my script or a child thread freezing. If this is not the case please answer.
