Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs are bound to the original user at provisioning, and simply reassigning the license doesn't reprovision the Cloud PC properly , you need to fully remove the Cloud PC instance.
Go to Microsoft 365 Admin center - then remove the windows 365 license from the original (admin) user. This triggers deletion of the associated Cloud PC ( can take a few minutes to complete).
Wait until the Cloud PC is fully deprovisioned - under Devices go to windows 365, confirm that no Cloud PC ( can take a few minutes to complete).
Reassign the license to the employee- this will trigger a fresh provisioning of a new Cloud PC tied to the employee's account.
