Steps to reproduce
Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier Powershell.Exiting -Action { Set-Content -Value "Hello there." -Path "$env:TEMP\General Kenobi.txt" }
exitInstead of exit, the user may also close the Powershell with the x-Button.
Expected behavior
I expect that Powershell executes every command in the -Action parameter before it exits. In this case, I expected that a file General Kenobi.txt would have been written to $env:TEMP.
Actual behavior
Powershell does not execute the action in any case. Not when exiting via exit command and not when exiting by pressing the x-button of the powershell console window.
This not only happens in PS6 but also in PS5.
