They will be standing by here -- in chat -- to provide guidance, discuss strategies and tactics, and, of course, answer any specific questions you may have.

Gary, you may need to open a support case. I am running Windows 11 24H2, opened a regular (non-elevated) PowerShell command prompt, and could run both invoke-command and get-appxpackage without errors. I opened an elevated PowerShell command prompt, and could run both invoke-command and get-appxpackage without any errors.

Gary, in September the Copilot team published this blog Enhanced data protection with Windows and Microsoft Copilot - Windows IT Pro Blog that describes the impending changes for Copilot that are currently rolling out with the October monthly update. Please familiarize yourself with this blog, giving particular attention to the bottom where it discusses what IT Admins should consider, which links to Updated Windows and Microsoft Copilot experience | Microsoft Learn.
