Due to backslash being added or removed win\_command is not working as expected. It works fine when I pass the path in a variable.

```auto
- name: List the user details
  win_command: '{{full_cmd}} {{cmd1}}'

```

Variables are as below:

```auto
full_cmd: some command
cmd1: Path="D:\Program Files\somepath"

```

cmd from Output:

```auto
"cmd": "some command Path=\"D:\\Program Files\\somepath\"",

```

But I want to pass it via a loop. Path is a list obtained via set\_fact and list. Here it doesn’t work as backslashes are not there as above.

```auto
win_command: '{{command}}"{{item}}" {{cmd2}}'   
with_items: "{{path}}"

```

```auto

```
