Steps to Reproduce

• Enable powershell.debugging.createTemporaryIntegratedConsole
• Edit/Run a .ps1 script (F5) that's stored on a drive that's different from the cwd value in settings.json or launch.json
• When script is finished running, inspect the current directory of the drive on which the .ps1 script is stored
  • That drive's current directory will be set to $PSScriptRoot when it shouldn't be changed at all

Expected behavior:

• The cd for the drive on which the .ps1 script is stored should not be changed

Actual behavior:

• The cd for the drive on which the .ps1 script is stored gets changed to: $PSScriptRoot
