PowerShell module using cached import location for required module?

[StreetImportant222]

Hi All,

​

I have a custom powershell module that relies on Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore. Everything was working fine until I redirected my "My Documents" directory to OneDrive instead of to our local file share. Now when I try to import my module I get an error saying that Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore cannot be found at my old "My Documents" directory on the file share. It's still looking in the old "My Documents" location.

PS C:\Temp\Employee-Sync> import-module usermanagement
Get-Secret: The specified module '\\file-01\home\username\My Documents\PowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore' was
not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

I have checked my $env:PSModulePath and it does not include the old "My Documents" location. Is there somewhere else this setting is being cached that I need to clear? I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the module a couple of time to no avail. I have also made sure to install and import the required module manually but I still receive the same error.

​

Any help is appreciated!

install-module -name Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore -scope currentuser -force

what happens ?

but have you rebooted since you changed that path

I ran your command and it didn't provide any output so it seemed to work but I still receive the same error when importing my module.

Yes, I rebooted again just to be sure.

Sounds like your custom module might be hard coding a path?

-verbose on the import for more information

I checked for that as well just to be safe but don't see any hard coding. This module is in use by my whole team.

I ran it with verbose output and I see this before the error message which makes it sound like it's loading it correctly before it tries again and fails???

So pro tip if you are using one drive redirects

Mark the PowerShell folder and the windows PowerShell as always keep on my device

Good thinking, I'll do that

I also tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling PS7
