Invoke PowerShell circularly taking up too much memory with Windows framework

I find that to invoke PowerShell every time will produce a session which will take up memory. Therefor, it would run out of memory if invoking PowerShell circularly. Windows system will not release resources.

In contrast with Windows framework, Windows-legacy framework works perfectly.

A computer screen shows the interface of UiPath Studio Community Edition on the left and a system performance monitoring window with a highlighted memory usage graph on the right. (Captioned by AI)

In all, is there a way to invoke PowerShell well with Windows framework as Windows-legacy framework?
Thanks!

looks like session is not getting closed

you can try killing the session by getting the process using get processes as an interim solution

Thanks.

I change UiPath.System.Activity version to 23.10.4 in Windows framework. And to invoke Powershell with command line “Get-process”, the session is closed in time. However, this environment cannot run this command line “(Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath “”\custom*”" | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo).TaskName" which runing successfully in my previous description.

The image depicts a debugging session in UiPath Studio Community, showing an Invoke Power Shell action with an error stating that "Get-ScheduledTask" is not recognized. (Captioned by AI)

So, I think the error is due to UiPath.System.Activity package.
