Hi @mrslyfox,

Since it works in Win 10, I would suggest:

1. Follow how-do-i-get-the-body-of-a-web-request-that-returned-400-bad-request-from-invoke to get more details of the error.

2. Check your code with the information in the Service.

3. A little possibility that caused by Firewall.

4. Upgrade the Power Shell.

Best Regards,
