Write-RsRestCatalogItem fails in NonInteractive mode after Windows update to PS 5.1

[LSTANCZYK]

Write-RsRestCatalogItem (and likely other cmdlets that use Invoke-WebRequest internally) throws the following error in unattended/pipeline environments after a recent Windows update to PowerShell 5.1:

System.Exception: Failed to create catalog item:
Windows PowerShell is in NonInteractive mode. Read and Prompt functionality is not available.
---> System.Management.Automation.PSInvalidOperationException: Windows PowerShell is in NonInteractive mode.
at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHostUserInterface.HandleThrowOnReadAndPrompt()
at Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHostUserInterface.PromptForChoice(...)
at System.Management.Automation.MshCommandRuntime.DoShouldContinue(...)
at System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet.ShouldContinue(String query, String caption, Boolean hasSecurityImpact, ...)
at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand.ProcessResponse(WebResponse response)
at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestPSCmdlet.ProcessRecord()

Steps to reproduce

1. Run any script calling Write-RsRestCatalogItem on a Windows machine with the latest PS 5.1 updates applied
2. Run it non-interactively (e.g. Azure DevOps pipeline, scheduled task)

Expected behavior

File uploads silently without prompting, as it did before the Windows update.

Actual behavior

Invoke-WebRequest internally calls ShouldContinue(hasSecurityImpact=true) during ProcessResponse. When hasSecurityImpact is true, PowerShell ignores $ConfirmPreference and always prompts — making it impossible to suppress without changing the underlying call to use -UseBasicParsing.

Environment

• PowerShell 5.1 (post Windows update, exact KB unknown)
• Azure DevOps pipeline agent (Windows Server)
• SSRS/PBIRS over HTTPS, Windows Authentication (NTLM)

Suggested fix

Add -UseBasicParsing to all Invoke-WebRequest calls inside the module. This bypasses IE's COM-based response parser (the source of the security prompt) and is safe for all SSRS REST API responses which are plain JSON.
