Hi,  
I created YAML Script that should copy folder ,konserwacja" to local. I dont know why, but the folder on Windows in the path ,c:\konserwacja" is empty ☹

I using Windows 11 Pro.

Below is part of the playbook, that should copy folder from network to local.

```auto
   - name: Copy files from network share to local folder
     ansible.windows.win_shell: |
        Copy-Item -Path "\\\\10.0.0.14\\wspolne\\konserwacja\\*" -Destination "C:\\konserwacja\\" -Recurse -Force
     register: result
     args:
        executable: powershell

   - name: Debug copied files
     ansible.builtin.debug:
        var: result.stdout_lines

```

Below is debug:

Bellow is hosts setting:

```auto
[pcwindows]
komp2 ansible_host=10.0.0.230

[pcwindows:vars]
ansible_user=Admin
ansible_password=XXXX
ansible_port=5985
ansible_connection=winrm
ansible_winrm_transport=basic
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore

```

The Admin user has permission to use the resource: wspolne (\10.0.0.14\wspolne)
