Issue running command [gcloud compute reset-windows-password].

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Running [gcloud compute reset-windows-password] in powershell with gcloud CLI versions `509.0.0` to `511.0.0`.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the command to succeed and the new password to be printed out.

Please provide any additional information below.

This bug does not happen with gcloud CLI versions `508.0.0` and bellow.

This bug does not happen on Debian with the same versions.
