Steps to reproduce the issue?

Install the Azure Functions Core Tools (v3)
Clone and build the following sample app: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-durable-extension/tree/dev/samples/precompiled
cd into the samples\precompiled\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1 directory
Run func host start

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

Not yet, but I’m guessing that our internal use of the older storage SDK is part of the problem. We plan to upgrade eventually, but this needs to be carefully coordinated with the Azure Functions storage SDK dependencies.
