Import-LocalizedData error with Windows Forms Designer

In Forms Designer after importing an image and an icon to use with my main form, I receive restricted language mode errors when designer tries to import-localizeddata. This form has existed for awhile and it always worked correctly when the $Resource Variable was set using Invoke-Expression. I'm not sure in which version of the tools the method of getting that local data was changed but since then I get an error in my powershell window and the image and icon do not show up on the main form. This behavior is observable on all Forms I have created with Powershell tools as I use the same icon and a similar image in each one.

Visual Studio Professional 2017 Version 15.9.11 PowerShell Tools Version 4.4.0 PSVersion 5.1.17763.316 PSEdition Desktop PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...} BuildVersion 10.0.17763.316 CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000 WSManStackVersion 3.0 PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3 SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

The error is below.
