If you want to add a sleep (delay) to your PowerShell script, you need to make use of the Start-Sleep cmdlet,
Let's take a look at a few examples.
Example 1: One-Liner Sleep
echo "Sleeping for 10 seconds"; Start-Sleep -Seconds 10; echo "Done!"
Example 2: Sleep with Script
$numbers = 1..10
foreach ($num in $numbers) {
# Sleep for 1 seconds
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
Write-Host $num
}
