AZ module seems to keep breaking in powershell with a message about import-module

I am attempting to use azure keyvault in a powershell script that is used by a github action. HEre is an example of my code, which worked at least once earlier today

$TenantID = my_tenant_id"$securePassword = "passowrd_for_key_vault_account" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force$credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "my_application_id", $securePasswordConnect-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -Credential $Credential -TenantID $TenantID

When I attempt to run this, I get the following error

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

When I run Import-Module Az.Accounts I get

Import-Module: Assembly with same name is already loaded

I am installing & Importing the module earlier in my code with the following

 Install-Module -Name Az -scope currentuser -force -AllowClobberImport-Module Az

I tried to connect an azure service accountI was expecting it to log in and continue on to pull information from key vault

AZ module seems to keep breaking in powershell with a message about import-module:

This is usually the case if you have an AzureRM module installed in addition to the Az modules in PowerShell library. Even with the Az/Az.Accounts module installed, there may be issues with PowerShell if AzureRM was previously installed.

As a result, use this command to uninstall the AzureRM module.

uninstall-AzureRM

After executing it, I tried connecting Az account and it worked successfully.

$TenantID = "tenant_ID"$securePassword = "secret/password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force$credential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "AppID", $securePasswordConnect-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -Credential $Credential -TenantID $TenantID

Output:

Note:

  1. Make sure that update to the latest versions of the required modules when any new releases are there using command:
update-module
  1. To check the current running version use this command with the required module name:
 get-module Az.accounts

  1. Check the available modules list by using:
get-module -ListAvailable
