Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the mcr.microsoft.com/powershell image and PowerShell 7.4.2 using the reported Restart-Computer command, then compare it with the working Windows 11 environment. Determine whether the missing ComputerName parameter is caused by the container platform or the image; done means the issue has a verified fix or a clearly documented limitation and workaround.
