Workaround – Remove the Parameter

Many admins are suggesting the workaround to resolve this issue. Mr. deltavictorindialima suggested that, Remove the –ComputerName $env:computername parameter. It probably utilises WMIC which is deprecated in Windows 11.

You can update the PowerShell version to version 3.9 because older versions have compatibility problems. If you are still facing the same issue with Win11, try restarting the computer.
