task scheduler (or powers shell) went wrong from the day after Windows Update.

Question

Thank you for your help.

On Windows 2016 Server, the output of the batch file (PowerShell) started from Task Scheduler is
It went wrong from the day after Windows Update.

-Background

(1) There is a PowerShell script that accesses the Web server with API, acquires information from the Web server, and outputs it as CSV.

(2) There is a batch file that simply calls the PowerShell script in (1) above.

(3) The task scheduler periodically executes the batch file (2) above.

(i) Windows Update was executed on July 19, 2020,

KB4484433
KB4565912
These have been installed.

(ii) From 2020/7/20, the execution result of the above-mentioned(3) is incorrect.
* Only the 3-byte data whose CSV file content is meaningless is output.

(iii) Double-click the batch file of the above (2) or execute it from the command prompt, or directly execute the PowerShell script of (1), I can obtain the same output as 7/19.

I'm guessing there is something wrong with Windows Update, is there any information?

(iii) Double-click the batch file of the above (2) or execute it from the command prompt, or directly execute the PowerShell script of (1), I can obtain the same output as 7/19.

If I'm reading the above correctly, you can execute from command prompt the batch file, in powershell to export to csv and in windows file explorer by double clicking the .ps1 script.

If the script and batch file work independently when triggered manually, it may be that you need to re-create the Scheduled Task in task scheduler, and run it manually to test the output.

Also, can you post the script contents of your .ps1 file.
