Hi and welcome @pcpharmtt!

Adding to what @IPvSean mentions above which will help you troubleshoot, I would also advise you to upgrade Ansible (and ansible-core). From your details

> Control Node: **Ansible 2.10.8**

That version is [outdated and at end of life](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html#ansible-community-changelogs). Both [community.windows](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/windows/index.html) and [ansible.windows](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/ansible/windows/) collections require ansible-core 2.12 in their latest release as well.

Let us know how it goes!
