That Invoke-WebRequest security update (#KB5074596) breaking your scripts? A basic search for -UseBasicParsing won't catch code that uses properties like Forms or AllElements - those don't exist anymore. I wrote ScriptAnalyzer rules that find both issues. Try it out, let me know what I missed.

I was 12 when BTTF was released in the cinemas and I've loved these films ever since. It's crazy to realise that I'm now older than Christopher Lloyd was in BTTF parts 2 and 3.
