 ### Added
 
 ### Changed
+- Changed fallback scenario for 'Get-PnPFile' where downloading a file created by a user that no longer exists would try a different technique to download the file. This only worked on English environments though. With this fix, it should work for any language. [PR #2852](https://github.com/pnp/PnP-PowerShell/pull/2852)
