Steps to reproduce
I am experiencing a problem when running the PowerShell SDK in a kiosk (AssignedAccess) environment in a WindowsBackgroundService. When I am using the library in a non-kiosk environment it works fine. But the weird thing is that once I am in the kiosk or when I get back from it, I am always getting an exception. I already asked this on StackOverflow but without any solutions.
Expected behavior
$user = "ExamX"
$Sid = (Get-LocalUser -Name $user).SID.Value
Remove-LocalUser -SID $Sid
Clear-AssignedAccess
sc.exe stop "ExamX Service"
sc.exe delete "ExamX Service"
$path = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\ExamX\ExamInfo\"
Remove-Item -Recurse $path -ErrorAction SilentlyContinueActual behavior
