error when scanning offline

[hearts1137]

Attempting to scan a Windows 11 VM I have running but receiving the following error;

exception from HRESULT: 0x8024402C
OperationStopped COMException
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

The module was imported successfully and the command I am running is;
$scanfile = C:\wsusscn2.cab
Get-KbNeededUpdate -ComputerName localhost -ScanFilePath $scanfile

any ideas? The VM has 2 cpu and 16G of RAM running on my laptop for testing.

When I perform the same commands directly on my laptop, no errors.

Thank you.
