winpty error accessing powershell tab

WAC Ver: 2.4.1 running on Windows Server 2022
I can access and perform all other WAC functions on the remote connected server (Win 2022) but when I try to access the powershell tab and click 'connect' I am met with a "Session End: click 'Connect' to reconnect." error.  Clicking 'Connect' just cycles the same error.

The windows event log error is as follows:

Category: Microsoft.WindowsAdminCenter.Common.ServiceLog
EventId: 414
SpanId: d138bcb891359bec
TraceId: f373ad4711a131524c5c01e8b6a2e591

ActionName: Microsoft.WindowsAdminCenter.Controllers.PseudoConsole.PseudoConsoleController.PowerShellConsole (Microsoft.WindowsAdminCenter.Controllers.PseudoConsole)

Failed to open winpty (8), Columns=194, Rows=44

The internal windows firewall is turned off completely, and outside of WAC, initiating a  "Enter-PSSession -ComputerName" command in powershell verison 7.5.1 works fine, I can run commands on the remote server from there.

Any ideas?
