The 'Connect-AzAccount' command was found in the module 'Az.Accounts', but the module could not be loaded.

Description

In VSCode terminal I'm unable to run any Az commands. They all end up with error

The Az* command was found in the module 'Az.Accounts', but the module could not be loaded.

Same commands in a standalone cmd windows seem to work fine even though I compared the 2 sessions (cmd and VSCode) and apart from ms-vscode.powershell-2020.6.0\modules the same modules seems to be installed on both.

[sgiovinetti]

@markcowl Tried your commands

I receive this error:

Maybe is this issue? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/resolving-powershell-module-assembly-dependency-conflicts/#solving-the-issue-in-powershell-itself

How can I solve it?
Thanks

@dingmeng-xue let's investigate further

[sgiovinetti]

@dingmeng-xue I probably discover the origin. The error is related with the VSCode PowerShell extension in fact running the same commands with the extension disabled work fine. I opened an issue also in the VSCode PowerShell extension repository Issue 3012

@austica the updates are in the related issue in the vscode-powershell repo indicated above.

Restarting VSCode resolved this issue for me

I also had the same issue. ran this command and it resolved.

Yup this seems to work. please note to run this you need to run VScode with administrator privileges.

Hit the same issue with a fresh, first-time install of VS Code, the PowerShell extension, and the latest Azure PowerShell module.
Following Mark's debugging suggestion, I found the assembly "already loaded" error was likely due to System.Management.Automation. I worked around this by finding the Az.Automation and AzureRM.Automation modules and moving them outside the respective Modules folder.

Upon further exploration, I thought maybe the conflict was due to having both the Az and AzureRM modules loaded. There is an explicit warning about this being unsupported when you run Connect-AzAccount and the like. I ran Uninstall-AzureRm to resolve this issue. Now the Azure cmdlets run cleanly in PS 7, in VS Code.

[dingmeng-xue]

@changov , please create a new issue to provide environment information to us. You need to share the module installed on PowerShell, and debug message. Close current issue now.

@dcaro 2022-01-06, I'm in Windows 10 / VSC 1.63, PS v 7.2, all up to date.
First got the The 'Connect-AzAccount' command was found in the module 'Az.Accounts', but the module could not be loaded

Ran following as @markcowl suggested, see below screeen
Import-Module Az.Accounts
$Error[0].Exception | fl * -force

Ran the command in one line: Import-Module Az.Accounts $Error[0].Exception | fl * -force got
Import-Module: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'System.IO.FileLoadException: Assembly with same name is already loaded at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState.Bind_LoadAssemblies(ExecutionContext context) at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState.Bind(ExecutionContext context, Boolean updateOnly, PSModuleInfo module, Boolean noClobber, Boolean local, Boolean setLocation) at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ModuleCmdletBase.LoadModuleManifest(String moduleManifestPath, ExternalScriptInfo manifestScriptInfo, Hashtable data, Hashtable localizedData, ManifestProcessingFlags manifestProcessingFlags, Version minimumVersion, Version maximumVersion, Version requiredVersion, Nullable1 requiredModuleGuid, ImportModuleOptions& options, Boolean& containedErrors)'.`

Import-Module Az.Accounts -force received:

uninstall-azureRm got:
uninstall-azureRm: The 'uninstall-azureRm' command was found in the module 'Az.Accounts', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Az.Accounts'.

Shut down VSC and restarted as Admin, still the same.
Can someone please help?

[SASELAMB]

Worked!

Run:
Import-Module AzFilesHybrid -Force -AllowClobber
Install-Module -Name Az.Network -Force -AllowClobber
Import-Module -Name Az.Network -Global -ErrorAction Stop
Import-Module -Name AzFilesHybrid

Summary:
To resolve this issue, you should first make sure that you have the required modules installed and then load them in the correct order. Here are the steps to do that:

Install Required Modules:

Before loading the AzFilesHybrid module, ensure that you have the necessary modules installed. In this case, you need the Az.Network module.

You can install the Az.Network module using the following command:

Install-Module -Name Az.Network -Force -AllowClobber
The -Force and -AllowClobber flags help ensure that the module is installed and any potential conflicts are resolved.

Load Modules in the Correct Order:

Modules should be loaded in the correct order to resolve dependencies. First, load the Az.Network module and then load the AzFilesHybrid module:

Import-Module -Name Az.Network -Global -ErrorAction Stop
Import-Module -Name AzFilesHybrid
Loading Az.Network with the -Global parameter makes it available to all PowerShell sessions. This should help resolve the dependency issue.

Run Your Desired Command:

After loading the modules successfully, you can run the Join-AzStorageAccount cmdlet or any other cmdlets from the AzFilesHybrid module as needed.
