Get-Module Az -ListAvailable doe not work on Windows Powershell 5.1

[KevinMarquette]

Description

When running Get-Module Az -ListAvailable on Windows PowerShell 5.1, no modules are listed and the end user is not able to detect the version of that module that is loaded. This is creating a poor user experience.

This appears to be fixed in PowerShell 6.2 but I do not see any discussion or resolution for this on Windows PowerShell 5.1.

Thanks for the detailed issue. There are no plans to release PowerShell 5.2 or port the fix back to PowerShell 5.1. The fix is available if PowerShell releases 5.2. More in this PR in the PowerShell repo.
