Error: Get-WmiObject : Invalid class "Win32_LogicalDisk"

[crenn]

In case anyone runs into the same error I did (I saw one other people who ran into it in my searches) when attempting to upload. It's different to the path issues seen in other cases and you'll get something like:

Get-WmiObject : Invalid class "Win32_LogicalDisk"
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-WmiObject "Win32_LogicalDisk"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [Get-WmiObject], ManagementException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetWMIManagementException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWmiObjectCommand

To fix it in my case, I had to run in power shell:

net stop winmgmt /y
winmgmt /resetrepository

Then I was able to upload fine to my Pico 2W.
Arduino IDE 1.8.19
Raspberry Pi RP2040 4.7.1

Thank you so very much! I got the issue after just having cloned my disk, so you can assume I've been everywhere in that area - including lots of discussions with our new friends the chatbots - trying to find a cause and a solution...
