Get-CimInstance MS Learn examples does not work

PowerShell Help
1

I am reading about Get-CimInstance at Get-CimInstance (CimCmdlets) - PowerShell | Microsoft Learn
My terminal is configured to use PS7, when I run example 5,

$instance = @{
    ClassName = 'Win32_Process'
    Namespace = 'root/cimv2'
    Properties = @{
        Handle = 0
    }
    Key = 'Handle'
    ClientOnly = $true
}

then
$x = New-CimInstance @instance
I get the following error:

New-CimInstance: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘Properties’.

I changed poperties y property, it does not error but whatever handle I give it returns the same output

 $instance = @{
    ClassName = 'Win32_Process'
    Namespace = 'root/cimv2'
    Property = @{
        Handle = 10 (tried 1, 2....)
    }
    Key = 'Handle'
    ClientOnly = $true

always output

What is your question? It looks like you have found a bug. You may search if it’s already filed. If not you may file a bug report.

handle must be set with the process ID of an existing process.
if not, i get an error :

Get-CimInstance: Not found

I think this example is an other way for -filter parameter. If you try

get-ciminstance -classname win32_process -filter "handle=0"

you get the same result

Thanks, yes it is a bug in the documentation and Christophe you are correct. Once the right handle number is given it worked fine
