All Pre-Build event commands fail with exit code 1

As stated in the title, all pre-build events exit with code 1. I was originally using 'git describe --tags > "$(OutputDir)version.txt"', but I have changed the command here to show that even a simple 'echo' command is failing. I have attempted to repair the installation, but no luck. The diagnostic output does not give any clear details. I am running Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.11.5.

Error Message:

Error   MSB3073 The command "echo" exited with code 1.

Diagnostic Output:

1>Target "PreBuild" in file "C:\Apps\Development\captain\Cadet\Cadet.csproj":
1>  Using "Exec" task from assembly "Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core, Version=15.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a".

Pre-Build Event in .csproj

<Target Name="PreBuild" BeforeTargets="PreBuildEvent">
  <Exec Command="echo" />
</Target>
