    This may be related to https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.windows/pull/204 which changed the logic of how it searched for group members. This was introduced in v1.4.0 of the community.windows collection.

    Unfortunately there's not much else you can do really. The time taken is due to the code that's being run and how Windows/PowerShell is sending the info. It taking hours sounds really wrong though it might be worthwhile looking through the code https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.windows/blob/main/plugins/modules/win_domain_group_membership.ps1 to see what it's running and see if you can replicate that manually through an interactive PowerShell prompt.
