To Fix this issue you just need to update a registry setting AllowBasic and then try again. Let’s see which registry key needs to be updated and then test it again.
Open Registry Editor on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC using administrator priviledges and find the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Client and set its value to 1.
Let’s try again to see if it works fine this time. As you can see, there are no errors reported and the command is executed successfully.
