Certain Docker Commands not working in Windows Powershell ISE but working in other Command Line tools

Question

I am exploring docker and I've been using Windows Powershell ISE to run docker commands. I have come across situation where I run certain commands in Powershell but they appear to be stuck, but when I run the same docker command on Command Prompt they work fine. I am using the same machine but different command line tools. Why do certain docker command work in powershell and some don't? The below are just some examples. While most work, some don't appear to be working.

Example 1) docker system prune

In powershell I expected a message like I do in the command prompt below, but it appears to be hanging.

Example 2) docker exec -ti containerName bash

In CMD Prompt, I am able to jump into my running container but not in Powershell

Perhaps you are using Powershell-ISE, which is not supported by docker...: github.com/docker/for-win/issues/223 — nologin

Docker does not support Powershell-ISE: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/
