On Win11 22H2 Multisession, this module appears to be available via interactive session, but when I try to use it via Proactive remediation under System context, it isn’t loaded and not listed as available (via get-module -listavailable)
Hi Simon,
Hi There,
I have same issue, as I am trying to run install-language command via task sequence . Even tough I can see the language pack management files in the system32 module folder ( I assume it means its installed) and I import the module. When I run the command install-language I receive an error install-language is not recognized. Did you manage to get it running under system account. Pls guide me further.
