Libvirt has two sorts of drivers - stateless ones and stateful ones.
The stateful ones require use of the libvirtd daemon and are not
supported (nor even built) on Windows.

The Windows builds can most usefully act as a remote RPC client to
connect to Linux hypervisor hosts.

For this, you'll want to use the TLS transport eg

   virsh -c qemu+tls://some.linux.kvm.host/system

and you'll need to setup TLS certificates on client & host too.

Daniel
