for reference:

anyone please correct me, what i am wrong or what should i need to change inorder to make this working! thanks in advance.

Did you find a solution for this? I get the exact same problem, and have no clue what to do. It works on an older Win10 installation I have, but not on the latest (1909).

If i run wmic /? I get an “WMIC is deprecated” message.

So pretty stuck at the moment.
