Hi @max-zaytsev , thank you for taking a look at this issue. I've also opened up a ticket (2108190040004024) with azure devops support to see if I can get quicker resolution. I've looked at the yaml pipeline definition and my powershell script but couldn't find anything I'm providing that's a -V. setprivatepsgallery.ps1 is defined below. Am I passing the arguments incorrectly in the YAML pipeline step?

Hi @tristanbarcelon It doesn't look like a task issue. Is this reproducible if you run your ps script manually on the same machine?

Hi @max-zaytsev, looks like powershell team confirmed this as an issue with PowershellGet so it's not an issue with powershell task.
