Also, run this from your local dev box:

Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "*" -Force


I've had this same problem as well, on a machine that was working for remote powershell in the past. In my case the solution was to clear the Security Log. It was full, and I believe this was preventing powershell from making a proper secure connection.


The following fixed my problem:

You either have to empty your iplisten list which can be checked using the following CMD command:

netsh http show iplist

or to add the loop back address to it if there is any other addresses:

netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1
