It started failing CI as soon as the default shifted to 1.78. Something
is broken and it prevents running stable CI. Tracking issue opened.
We pin the version because that is the same way we handle CI for linux
-- with the exception that Linux CI can upgrade itself as soon as we
fix issues causing the CI Image Builder to jam itself, whereas
unfortunately Windows will need to be manually unpinned, but such is
life as a Windows supporter.
