• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.
• Refer to the FAQ.
• Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

This is a regression between build 8.0.100-preview.5.23267.7 and 8.0.100-preview.5.23269.4. It was discovered when attempting to update the .NET Docker images to the latest build of Preview 5. You can see the CI results with this error here: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/pull/4628

This affects Windows only.

Build this Dockerfile:
