Neither `community.window` nor `ansible.window` exists.

`community.windows` (with an `s`)

You need to use `--force` to update a collection that’s already installed.

Your screenshot shows that community.windows was successfully installed, but ansible.windows got skipped (since it was already installed).

Why do you think that community.windows was not installed / skipped?

I can’t call module win\_initialize\_disk  
btw when i check by running ansible-galaxy collection list, I didn’t see it.
