To hopefully help resolve your issue or point you in the right direction, I'll share some troubleshooting steps below.

1. Referencing your error message, please close out of all your PS sessions and retry importing the PSCloudShellUtility module.
2. If you're still having issues, ensure you have the latest version of Az.Accounts, or the version required to use the PSCloudShellUtility module. You can check for it using Get-Module Az.Accounts
3. Update the module as needed - Update-Module -Name "ModuleName" -Force
4. If updating your module and restarting your PS sessions don't help resolve your issue, you can Uninstall the Az module and re-install it, to ensure you have everything required to lever the PSCloudShellUtility module.

I hope this helps!

If you have any other questions or are still having issues, please let me know. Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
