Summary
PowerShell Remoting (WinRM) does not function correctly when PowerShell 7 is installed as an MSIX package. The PS Remoting server plugin (pwrshplugin.dll) relies on file paths and ACLs that are incompatible with the MSIX packaging model.
Affected scenarios
Enter-PSSession to a machine with MSIX-packaged PS7Invoke-Command targeting MSIX-packaged PS7 endpoints- Any WinRM-based remote management workflow
Context
The root cause is related to the SYSTEM context gap (#27562) but is distinct — the WinRM plugin infrastructure has its own ACL and registration requirements that the per-user MSIX model does not satisfy.
We are working with the relevant Windows engineering teams on a resolution and have internal tracking for this work. We will update this issue as progress is made.
This is a blocker for the PS7 inboxing initiative.
