You can try this. . .
Get-WMIObject -List *shad*
That will list all WMI classes that contain the string shad. In my case I found all kinds of classes related to Shadow Copy including Win32_ShadowCopy which is likely what you are looking for but if you don't find you answer there try some of the others. I use this method to find WMI classes all the time. However, we should both be switching to CIM someday, you know for when we switch to using PowerShell 7 from a MAC which will never happen for me.
