PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING! Read if you're new to the PowerShell forum!

Hi, and welcome to the PowerShell forum! Don’t apologize for being a “noob” or “newbie” or “n00b.” There’s just no need – nobody will think you’re stupid, and the forums are all about asking questions. Just ask! Use a descriptive subject. Don't say "Need help" or "PowerShell Help", actually summarize what the problem is. It helps the rest of us keep track of which problem is which. Don’t post massive scripts. We’re all volunteers and we don’t have time to read all that, nor will we copy, past…

So your code needs a little rejigging, you need to loop lookign for the process - when it disapears then the logoff is triggered not sure why you are executing chrome.exe /terminate in this context as it doesn’t appear to be a valid switch (see: List of Chromium Command Line Switches « Peter Beverloo: https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ )

#shell.ps1
& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe' -d5000 www.msdsonline.com
sleep -s 15
while(get-process "Chrome"){
sleep -s 10
# & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe' /terminate
}
logoff.exe
