Unfortunately, I do not have an environment like this to test in and there isn't enough information to troubleshoot with what's provided. However; I suspect it has to do with #1068

[Mhbuur]

This is indeed related to #1068
An azure pipeline command line task with only the script "nvm use 22" hangs forever, and there are no error messages. The command will execute just fine if you go to the agent server as the service user and execute it.

The workaround is to launch a new powershell console, like so:
start powershell "nvm use 22"

#1120 seems to fix it, but has not been approved.
