seen a Strange bug on some servers. no way to download the extensions list. The problem was from Internet explorer that was never launch before. The first time You launch Internet explorer You are asked to choose the default parameters You want to use. The cmdlet Invoke-WebRequest seems to use Internet Explorer because after launching one time IE, the problem was solved. I did this on almost 3 different servers (2012R2 and 2016).

Not sure if it's clear :-)

I cannot reproduce this issue. Please confirm that this is still happening or if not, please close the issue.

I know this is an ancient issue but I've seen this several times. You just have to run IE manually one time using your chosen account and get past those pesky questions. It has nothing to do with the calling script. Just a fact of life. I'm hoping the behavior changes with Edge. I think this issue should be closed.
