I am struggling with an issue (intermittent) where the use of the get-credential command freezes up the session. It will ask for credentials, but after the dialog box is dismissed, you never get the cursor back in the PowerShell window.  It doesn't display anything, and will sit there forever. CTRL-C does nothing. I have to close the window. This is Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise, PowerShell version 2, and I have had the problem occur on multiple servers.  

Can anyone help me out?

This is not a scripting question.  Have you tried contacting MS Support?

My only suggestion would be to determine whether the following KB article applies in your situation:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2701373

Other than that, it sounds like a break/fix problem you will need to address directly with Microsoft support. I have never experienced this problem in PowerShell v2 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
