Steps to reproduce

for ($i = 0; $i -le 2; $i += 0.1) { 
  Write-Progress -Activity 'DEMO' -Status $i -PercentComplete ([int]$i)
  Start-Sleep 1
}


### Expected behavior

Good find; let me boil it down to the core problem:

• -Percent 0 is incorrectly treated like -Percent 100, i.e. the whole progress bar is unexpectedly filled in; with $PSStyle.Progress.View = 'Classic', nothing is shown.

# !! Shows the whole bar filled in, as if -PercentComplete 100 had been passed.
# !! If $PSStyle.Progress.View = 'Classic', nothing shows at all.
Write-Progress -Activity Test -Status '0% complete' -PercentComplete 0; Start-Sleep 3

# OK: any value greater than 0 (1 - 100) - only the proportion reflecting the percentage is filled in.
Write-Progress -Activity Test -Status '1% complete' -PercentComplete 1; Start-Sleep 3
