I am trying to connect remote ESX host using PowerCli Version 6.5 release1 to get all VMs from Windows 10 system. while executing connect-VIServer I am not getting any output or errors. But while execute get-VMHost I get below error message. Vsphere client can connect to the ESX host using the same credentials . Please help fix powercli issue.

PS C:\> Connect-VIServer 10.44.6.45
PS C:\> Get-VMHost

Based no your code, I don't believe you're connected to the 10.44.6.45 host. I would expect to see a response with the connected host and the credentials being used to establish that connection whereas your code indicates no response at all.

You may want to attempt the following instead: 

$creds = Get-Credential # Note: This will prompt you to enter your credentials
Connect-VIServer -Server 10.44.6.45 -Credential $creds
