Issues that are fixed in this hotfix

Issue 1

When you run Windows PowerShell scripts by using Task Scheduler tool, the scripts fail occasionally. 

Issue 2

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Windows 8, Windows RT, or Windows Server 2012.
  • You add the Set-PSDebug cmdlet at the top of a Windows PowerShell script to trace the script lines.
In this scenario, the debug trace only shows for the line right after the Set-PSDebug cmdlet. If you use the Windows PowerShell command-line interface to run the script, the debug trace is correct after the script runs for the first time.
