You have to do some extra semi-complex magic when launching the process to break out of the winrm "jail"- otherwise anything you start will be nuked when your winrm session ends (by WinRM design, not Ansible's). I'm building said magic into Ansible for 2.2 to support async tasks on Windows (among other things), and I'll probably expose it on win_shell/win_command as well.
Not sure what you mean by "get through the Windows login process", but have you looked at win_reboot <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/win_reboot_module.html>?
