Some of our customers are hitting this issue as our AzureRm version 2.5.0 is taking a >= dependency on AzureRm.Profile 5.8.3 and our AzureStack module 1.8.2 is taking = RequiredVersion dependency on 5.8.3.

AzureStack module is taking RequiredVersion dependency on 5.8.3 version of AzureRM.Profile. This should be changed to >= dependency. AzureRM.Profile has not been updated by azure powershell team in a while and they have recently published a newer version 5.8.4

Mitigation is to follow the steps below
Use-AzureRmProfile -Profile 2019-03-01-hybrid -Force

Delete the AzureRM.Profile module folder manually under C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules ( if the module is installed with CurrentUser scope location is C:\Users<user>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules) and then do

Install-Module -Name AzureStack -RequiredVersion 1.8.2

Released AzureStack module version 1.8.3 to fix the issue
