File provisioning hangs with Terraform 12.* terraforming a Windows server with Powershell 5 installed
Problem
Terraform Version [code block] Terraform Configuration Files [code block] Debug Output [code block] The interrupt received was me cancelling the cmd line process. Crash Output N/A Expected Behavior On a Windows Server with Powershell 5 installed, be able to use Terraform 12. to complete file provisioning of TestFolder1, copying all content and subfolder content, and continue to the next file provisioning step. This works in Terrafform 11. I am using terraform v0.11.8 successfully with provider.aws v1.35.0 Actual Behavior Since upgrading to Terraform 12., the file provisioning of TestFolder1 copies a couple of the 1 KB files over, seems to copy over what can be done in 1 minute, and then stops copying over content. The Terraform console logging continues to report "Still creating..." without end and doesn't obey the timeout. The Terraform process never completes. Steps to Reproduce Setup Windows Server 2012 to have Powershell 5 1. Create a Window Server 2012 R2 64 bit instance and manually or via cli For AWS, I am using the source AMI filter [code block] 2. Install Powershell 5 directly via the MSU or through Chocolatey, both have the same effect. 2.1 Chocolatey via, "choco install powershell" 2.2 Manually by downloading Win8.1AndW2K12R2-KB3191564-x64.msu from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616, Windows Management Framework 5.1 (KB3191564). 2.2.1 Install via the GUI manually or run "Win8.1AndW2K12R2-KB3191564-x64.msu /quiet" in a cmd line
