Intune Proactive Remediation: Powershell-Skript not finding Registry-Path

Question

First: I'm not that good at powershell, but some easy scripts are ok. Right now i'm facing a problem and i just can't find the solution.

Within Intune i try to implement a detection script that detects a value within the registry if its 1. Here's the script i did:

$value = Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost' -Name "4G"

try{
if ($value -eq 1)
{
write-host "Compliant:True"
exit 0
}
write-host "Compliant:False - run remediation"
exit 1

}
catch{
write-host "Comliant:False - run remediation"
exit 1
}

If i start this script manually with powershell (admin), the script works just fine. But if i deploy the script trough intune proactive remediation, it always tells me that theres no specific registry path - but its there fore sure. I first thought i may be the conext in whicht powershell via intune runs - but what else than system or admin should it be...

I see it comming - the solution will be absolutly clear and easy once someone will give the answer :D

@Simon Aebi Based on my research, if we run script in a 64-bit Powershell host on a 64-bit client architecture, we can set "Run script in 64-bit PowerShell host" as Yes:

Meanwhile, find an article mentioned to write registry keys in x64 hive and not WOW6432Node. We can read it for the reference.

Hope it can help.
