Running this command from the Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe) or PowerShell for Windows OS XP, 7, 8, 8.1 without bash installed might require additional formatting for command options that have JSON, XML or JavaScript values because the command shell treat quotes differently. For example, this is how you can add page content from the Windows cmd.exe:

m365 spo page set --name page.aspx --webUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/a-team --content '[{\"controlType\": 4,\"id\": \"42b8afe8-dafe-4c11-bfbf-df5ef5b1feb7\",\"position\": {\"layoutIndex\": 1,\"zoneIndex\": 1,\"sectionIndex\": 1,\"sectionFactor\": 12,\"controlIndex\": 1},\"addedFromPersistedData\": true,\"innerHTML\":\"<p>Hello World</p>\"}]'

Note, how the content option has escaped double quotes '[{\"controlType\": 4,\"id\": \"42b8afe8-dafe-4c11-bfbf-df5ef5b1feb7\",\"position\": {\"layoutIndex\": 1,\"zoneIndex\": 1,\"sectionIndex\": 1,\"sectionFactor\": 12,\"controlIndex\": 1},\"addedFromPersistedData\": true,\"innerHTML\":\"<p>Hello World</p>\"}]' compared to execution from bash ''[{"controlType": 4,"id": "42b8afe8-dafe-4c11-bfbf-df5ef5b1feb7","position": {"layoutIndex": 1,"zoneIndex": 1,"sectionIndex": 1,"sectionFactor": 12,"controlIndex": 1},"addedFromPersistedData": true,"innerHTML":"<p>Hello World</p>"}]'.

Escaping JSON in PowerShell
When using the `--content` option it's possible to enter a JSON string. In PowerShell 5 to 7.2 [specific escaping rules](/cli-microsoft365/user-guide/using-cli#escaping-double-quotes-in-powershell) apply due to an issue. Remember that you can also use [file tokens](/cli-microsoft365/user-guide/using-cli#passing-complex-content-into-cli-options) instead.
