Workaround

When Device Guard is enabled, some non-English platforms may display the following strings in English instead of the localized language:

  • ”Reading scheduled jobs from file is not supported in this language mode.”

  • "Cannot use '&' or '.' operators to invoke a module scope command across language boundaries."

  • "'Script' resource from 'PSDesiredStateConfiguration' module is not supported when Device Guard is enabled. Please use 'Script' resource published by PSDscResources module from PowerShell Gallery."

After evaluation, Microsoft has determined that this is a low probability and a low-risk issue, and we will not provide a solution at this time for Windows 10, version 1709.
