You should use this module using Windows PowerShell 5.1, not PowerShell 7.x because a lot of the commands within the module are using WMI cmdlets, not the newer CIM cmdlets. The older WMI cmdlets don't work in PS7.

hi, i can confirm the bug only appears in pwsh and not powershell. could you add an error message for when the function is run within pwsh? thanks

Those who are coming to look for a work around:

$RebootFlags = Test-PendingReboot -Detailed -WarningAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$JoinFlag = (Test-Path -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired")
$PendingRename = ((Test-Path -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName") -and ((Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName").ComputerName -ne $env:COMPUTERNAME))

if ($RebootFlags.IsRebootPending -eq $true) {
if (($RebootFlags.ComponentBasedServicing -eq $True) -or #($RebootFlags.PendingComputerRenameDomainJoin -eq $True) -or
($RebootFlags.PendingFileRenameOperations -eq $True) -or ($RebootFlags.SystemCenterConfigManager -eq $True) -or
($RebootFlags.WindowsUpdateAutoUpdate -eq $True) -or ($JoinFlag -eq $true) -or
($PendingRename -eq $True)) {
Write-Host "There is a pending reboot needed." -ForegroundColor Red
}}
