Please fix the tests when resolving this bug, or removing the related tests if the affected functionalities will be removed.\r\n\r\n### Expected behavior\r\n\r\n```console\r\nN/A\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Actual behavior\r\n\r\n```console\r\nN/A\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Error details\r\n\r\n```console\r\nN/A\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Environment data\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\nPowerShell 7.3-preview.3\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Visuals\r\n\r\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/daxian-dbw","@type":"Person","name":"daxian-dbw"},"datePublished":"2022-03-17T21:29:54.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/17018/PowerShell/issues/17018"}
