Windows docker container stops executing certain executables

I have a Windows docker container (servercore) running on Windows, which works as expected. My entrypoint in docker executes a variety of commands in a row. At some point certain executables stop working and return with no output. Is there any chance to debug Docker or find out what is causing this behaviour? Example:

PS C:\tools> .\unzip.exe
PS C:\tools>

I tried executing windbg, but no success. I tried the powershell to access the event log, but I can't think of any proper way to tackle down this problem without having certain UI tools like Process Monitor (which also doesn't work) on cmd although it should (see below):

PS C:\tools> .\Procmon.exe /AcceptEula /Quiet /Minimized /BackingFile c:\temp\log.pml
PS C:\tools>

Python on the other hand works totally fine:

PS C:\tools> .\python.exe --version
Python 3.7.4

Update: The exit code of the applications which don't work is STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED (What does ExitCode -1073741502 mean?)

There came another question in today with a similar question and problem: How to start PowerShell (x86) in Windows Docker Container?

I was facing a very similar issue when suddenly MSBuild stopped working and returned exit code -1073741502 (aka 0xC0000142 / STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED).

Although probably not a satisfying answer, but at least a summary of the present state:

  • Windows Server 1909 (OS Build 18363.592) - January 28, 2020 - KB4532695 - works
  • Windows Server 1909 (OS Build 18363.657) - February 11, 2020 - KB4532693 - does not work
  • Windows Server 1909 (OS Build 18363.693) - February 27, 2020 - KB4535996 - does not work
