The thing that's confused me is that you have set *ansible_python_interpreter='C:\Program Files\Python\Python3.6.4'*
which looks like you are trying to use a windows installation of python to run with, and I'm pretty certain that's not going to fly. Even when you are using ssh to talk to your windows hosts, the modules you will use will still be implemented in powershell. Hope that helps a bit. I haven't tried the ssh support myself yet, so I'm sorry I can't hel with that part.
