The exception may also be System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The index must be within the limits of the List.

Does not repro for me and my system seems to be similar to yours (except that my OS is English, it could also be an issue due to the locale). Can you try to see if uninstalling the old versions of PSSA fixes it? If you are interest

It would also be interesting to see more error details using e.g. $error[0] | select *

May be is it only on my computer...

No error on Windows Server 2016

@LaurentDardenne Interesting findings, thanks for the report. I like your idea of using an Azure VM, which is something that is a relatively standardised and well known environment. I will try to see if I can reproduce it next week on a new Azure VM using your referenced template as well.

With the development branch.

This 'works', but should not:
