PowerShell cells still display error when commands use common parameter `-ErrorAction Ignore`

[rohancragg]

PowerShell cells still display error when commands use common parameter -ErrorAction Ignore and the error displayed is unhelpful

Example command:

# there will be an error when there is no process with ID=2 but it should be ignored
$process = Get-Process -Id 2 -ErrorAction Ignore
if ($process) {
    Write-Host "Process is running"
} else {
    Write-Host "Process is not running"
}
