Hi, everyone!

Patch Tuesday this week brought a forced change to the PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest command to address CVE-2025-54100. The fix for your PS command scripts is pretty simple, just add -UseBasicParsing to your IWR commands. This has been recommended syntax for a while anyway. Failure to include this switch will cause the script to stall and fail waiting for user input to confirm. This goes for the PS alias for IWR "curl", too.
