I believe something was stuck and I canceled the session, later when I try to start powershell.. I get

Environment

Exception

System.IO.IOException: The system cannot open the device or file specified. : 'PSReadLineHistoryFile_3505960416'

   at Microsoft.PowerShell.PSConsoleReadLine.ReadLine(Runspace runspace, EngineIntrinsics engineIntrinsics, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Closing the terminal and reopening works.

@yaananth Thanks for reporting the issue. This is a duplicate of #1464. It's likely a permission issue to /private/tmp. Please take a look at #1464 (comment) to see if that fix your problem too.
