Webjob throws a TypeInitializationException during startup

[shadowano]

I have webjobs written in .NET Framework 4.7.2 that have lived for years, and have this week upgraded them to use latest Azure.Storage.* nuget packages instead of WindowsAzure.Storage. I have also removed a lot of unused deprecated Microsoft.AspNetCore.* packages in my webjobs.

Even before I did the upgrades above, I get the following error in console during startup of my webjobs:

Unexpcted Exception During Runtime Startup:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for '<Module>' threw an exception. ---> <CrtImplementationDetails>.ModuleLoadException: The C++ module failed to load while attempting to initialize the default appdomain.
 ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Invalid operation. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131022)
   at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)

   at .cctor()
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment.InitializeEnvironment()
   at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment..cctor()

The webjob runs and work just fine even if this exception is thrown during startup. I had this error even before I started upgrading and fixing deprecated nuget packages.

What causes this exception to be thrown, and how can I fix it?
