Developer Mode was being activated in order to grant the container user the ability to create symbolic links. This impacts a variety of items beyond this singular feature. Replace the Developer Mode with explicitly granting the permission to create symbolic links
(SeCreateSymbolicPrivilege privilege) to the administrator group and container user. This increases the security of the development environment which is beneficial for software security overall.
