Mh, this is weird. Just out of curiosity: Did you run the PowerShell as administrator?

yes, I ran it as administrator, I tried it again right away:

I have now started a PowerShell with psexec -i -s powershell.
This means that the PowerShell is no longer only executed with my administrator account but with user SYSTEM. Then it works without any problems.

This is also possible with a Windows task that runs under SYSTEM, optionally with subsequent removal of the task:

PowerShell

$actionArgument = "-Command &{Update-Icinga -Confirm}"
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute powershell -Argument $actionArgument
$principal = New-ScheduledTaskPrincipal -UserId SYSTEM
$task = New-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Principal $principal
$regTask = $task | Register-ScheduledTask IcingaForWindowsUpdate
$regTask | Start-ScheduledTask
#$regTask | Unregister-ScheduledTask -Confirm:$false
