There are many reasons to pause script execution. Perhaps a script needs to wait for user input,
slow down execution speed, or wait for another process to conclude before moving forward. As with most tasks in Powershell, there is more than one way to pause a script. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the method of pausing you choose will have its strengths and weaknesses.

the application executing this script only has SYSTEM access. This is especially useful when performing tasks from RMM(Remote Monitoring and Management) systems that do not have the abilty to execute monitoring components in user-space.
