Ansible is setting Windows environment variables

We’re seeing some strange behaviour where it seems like Powershell scripts executed by Ansible are having their variables written to the system as environment variables as opposed to temporary session variables. The same scripts run through Jenkins don’t write to ENV, so it seems like Ansible is causing this behaviour.

Any ideas of what the cause/solution might be? We aren’t explicitly creating Windows environment variables through Ansible.

Thanks.
