We have had this error (Picture below) since version 2.15 (Now running 2.17)
We see this error every day on random scripts and random servers. (Running unattended)
I have a video (can't post due to gdpr) that captures what happens
The process does start and run for some time, and then just disappears with no trace in the logfiles, put it does produce the error below.
Funny enough the error tells us that it did not start, but it did (we watched it on the server).

We are working with Microsoft and have been doing so for more than a month, but so far no solution.
