Most likely related to the rpi4 issue reported, but i'm not sure.

Enter-PSSession: This parameter set requires WSMan, and no supported WSMan client library was found. WSMan is either not installed or unavailable for this system.

I believe the issue is related to aarch64, but i've not identified it yet.

btw, thank you @jborean93 for all your work here and with ansible.windows

Hi unfortunately the only platform I added support for with aarch64 was macOS. You could potentially recompile your own version using the build tools here but I don't have any plans on creating a new release of this fork at this point in time.
