Image Builder hangs when building template with anything other than System Elevated powershell script/command #53
Description
I'm using the base image Windows 11 + VS 2022 (Dev Box Compatible)
I've found that even if I tell it to execute a powershell command of just ls . it will hang if I select the Elevated without Run as System or uncheck both (User Context)
I end up having to run everything as System which causes problems for some tasks.

I can concur! It was so frustrating to have the builds fail even with some basic powershell commands. I was trying with various configurations but finally what had to be updated is that I had to run the customizations as System. Running as Elevated seems to have no purpose in that case.
