Help-Mode does nothing - ctrl-c gets me back to PowerShell prompt
#1
I am on Windows 11 executing hashcat.exe in a Windows PowerShell prompt.

When I issue the command: ".\hashcat.exe --help" the software replies with the response: "hashcat (v6.2.5) starting in help mode" but then it's like the screen is frozen. I have to literally ctrl-c to exit back to the PS command prompt. Am I missing something here?

try pressing enter after some time, sometime hashcat stucks, also happens on normal command prompt, but im not quite sure why

if this not helps, use standard cmd.exe inside powershell to start old command line (works on win10, not quite sure about win 11)
