(Get-Process -Id $PID).Processname  -Command 'Get-AppxPackage $Env:AppxPackageName | Remove-AppPackage'`\r\n\r\n\n\n### Expected behavior\n\n```console\nThe progress bar should honor the ProgressPreference and never re-display after the cmdlet completes.\n```\n\n\n### Actual behavior\n\n```console\nRemove-AppxPackage does not honor $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'.\r\n\r\nThen, the progress bar is re-displayed and remains in view if the command is followed by [System.Console]::ReadKey().\r\n\r\nThese are probably two seperate bugs, but tied closely together.\n```\n\n\n### Error details\n\n_No response_\n\n### Environment data\n\n```powershell\nThe problem exists in V5.1 and V7.3.1\n```\n\n\n### Visuals\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/RobMahn","@type":"Person","name":"RobMahn"},"datePublished":"2023-01-24T16:26:19.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/19022/PowerShell/issues/19022"}
