It looks like you are hitting the same issue as described in Get-ContentLibraryItem doesn't work

But there was never a solution afaik.

I would suggest to upgrade to 6.5.4 (which is PowerShell Gallery only)

Dont work. In one machine (with windows 10) works, but in another machine (windows server 2008 R2) dont:

Windows 10:
