#1061 and #1602 were made to improve how PSReadLine uses mutex for history file. Also, it's been a long time that I don't see new issues reporting about
UnauthorizedAccessExceptionregarding the mutex. So I think the issue was resolved. Please upgrade to the 2.1.0 version of PSReadLine from PowerShell Gallery.See the upgrading section for instructions. Please let us know if you run into the same issue with the latest version.
