I recently update the ExchangeOnlineManagement module to version 3.0.0 via Update-Module. Now it fails to connect, but only in the ISE environment for some reason. 

PS C:\> Connect-ExchangeOnline  
  
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.  
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ExchangeOnlineManagement\3.0.0\netFramework\ExchangeOnlineMa  
nagement.psm1:691 char:17  
+ ...             $cmdletLogger.LogGenericError($connectionContextID, $glob ...  
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException  
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

The error mentions the logger is failing, so I also tried different values for -LogLevel and -LogDirectoryPath, and I tried this on a few different machines (win10,server2012/16) without any luck.

I know VS Code is prioritized, but ISE is still supported and it's what I have available. It's not critical for me to update, but wanted to check that it's not just something in my environment

    Works fine here on a Win10 machine, no errors when connecting within the ISE. Try reinstalling the module?

    Yep, that was the cause, and thanks for the reply! I figured it was something with my environments...

    I had version 2.0.4, 2.0.5, and 3.0.0 installed on the systems I tested
