please try below, it was working for me.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions
            {
                Username = "xxx",
                Password = "xxx",
                Authority = "ntlmdomain:DESKTOP-RG6V063"
            };

            string remoteComputer = "xxx"; // Replace with the IP address or name of your remote computer
            ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope($"\\\\{remoteComputer}\\root\\cimv2", options)
            {
                Options = { EnablePrivileges = true }
            };

            scope.Connect();

            ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process");

            using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query))
            using (ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass(scope, new ManagementPath("Win32_Process"), new ObjectGetOptions()))
            {
                ManagementBaseObject inParams = processClass.GetMethodParameters("Create");

                // Set the process path to be started
                inParams["CommandLine"] = "Notepad.exe";

                // Start the Notepad process
                ManagementBaseObject outParams = processClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, null);

                // Get process ID
                uint processId = (uint)outParams["processId"];
                Console.WriteLine($"Notepad process started with Process ID: {processId}");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"An error occurred: {ex.Message}");
        }
    }
}

notepad is a desktop app and requires a logged-in user and active desktop to run. are you sure the computer you are remoting to has a logged-in user, and the desktop is available.
