Powershell 7.2.2 show no installed modules but Powershell 5.1 show them, I cannot use custom instructions in Powershell 7.2.2

Question

Hi,

I don't understand why on powershell 7.2.2. shell, the command "Get-InstalledModule" return no modules installed but on powershell 5.1 it correctly report the modules, my problem started after the recent powershell update. the result is that now I cannot use the instructions coming from the modules in powershell 7.2.2.

I've checked the "$env:PSModulePath -split ';'" and it show same paths.

What should I check to fix the problem?

Regards

Answer 1

Does Get-Module -ListAvailable show the modules?

The Get-InstalledModule only lists the modules that have been installed by PowerShellGet (i.e. from repositories). There may be something in the cmdlet that lists only the modules using PowerShellGet that were installed while running version 7 (not all version 5 modules work with version 7 because 7 is a "cross-platform" version of PowerShell built on PowerShell Core, while version 5 modules are built on software available that may not be available on other platforms).

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I tried to reinstall the modules in powershell 7.2.2 but the Install-Module command return no output.
For some strange reason custom command from one module works anyway. I created some pics, perhaps it can be more clear for you

I'm not sure if this will fix your problem, but try using this in your script if you run it in Powershell 7:

Import-Module CredentialManager -UseWindowsPowerShell
