    YanranHao I have decided to install this server from scratch. I can confirm this has fixed the issue. 

    It seem there was a problem with PowerShell New-Volume introed in B20251 which did not fix with upgrades to later versions.

     

    Now I have installed b20234 from scratch the issue is completely gone. 
    Maybe you can find something in the logs but it seems to be a local issue that happens when upgrading from previous versions. 

    Thanks for your time. I will retry the behaviour once after upgrading to 20239 or later to make sure it does not reappear, is this ok?

    Hello YanranHao i have reproduced the issue with Server Manager and recorded it. I have sent you the Onedrive link in a direct message. 
    let me know if there is anything else I can do and if the file is helpful. Otherwise I can also try to repeat directly with PowerShell New-Volume if this record does not include enough or relevant data.
