The cmdlet executes but ignores the explicit `$false` value.\r\n\r\n### Environment data\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\nPS\u003e $PSVersionTable\r\n\r\nName                           Value\r\n----                           -----\r\nPSVersion                      7.5.4\r\nPSEdition                      Core\r\nGitCommitId                    7.5.4\r\nOS                             Microsoft Windows 10.0.26100\r\nPlatform                       Win32NT\r\nPSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0…}\r\nPSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3\r\nSerializationVersion           1.1.0.1\r\nWSManStackVersion              3.0\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Visuals\r\n\r\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/yotsuda","@type":"Person","name":"yotsuda"},"datePublished":"2025-11-16T11:05:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/26458/PowerShell/issues/26458"}
