I think this is because of Hyperv isolation - try to remove that

[J-KVS]

Thank you for the rapid response. Yes, with process isolation I don't have this error. But I get other problems when I choose process isolation. Would it be possible to fix my initial problem with a hyper v isolation?

[freddydk]

It is a docker/Windows version issue, not something I can do anything about, sorry.

[J-KVS]

Ok, in this case we can close this issue and I'll have to open another issue for my problems with process isolation.

[IvanArsov]

Hi @J-KVS , Were you able to solve the problem with the isolation process ? Thanks

[J-KVS]

Hi @IvanArsov,

I switched from working on my local Windows Version to a Windows Server in Azure and had since no problems.

Just change the timezone in the container like

$containerName = 'myContainer'
$scriptBlock = {
    Set-TimeZone -Id "Central European Standard Time"
}
Invoke-ScriptInBCContainer -containerName $containerName -scriptblock $scriptBlock
