Had the same issue.
Seems that C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt is about 7GB is size. Deleted it and things went back to normal.
This also helps to keep dupes out:
'Set-PSReadlineOption -HistoryNoDuplicates:$true' | Add-Content $PROFILE

[CtrlShiftEscape]

Mine is empty

@CtrlShiftEscape you do have free diskspace where it's trying to write that file as well as permissions to that location to write?
