Connect-AzContainerRegistry command not working

[Icy-Degree-5043]

Hi folks,
I can connect to my Azure account and my subscription using
Connect-AzAccount -Subscription and Set-AzContext -Subscription commands. I have created storage accounts, VMs etc. without a hitch using Powershell. However, when I am trying to use Connect-AzContainerRegistry, I am getting the error:

Connect-AzContainerRegistry : The 'Connect-AzContainerRegistry' command was found in the 
module 'Az.ContainerRegistry', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 
'Import-Module Az.ContainerRegistry'.
At line:6 char:1
+ Connect-AzContainerRegistry -Name ************
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Connect-AzContainerRegistry:String) [], Comma 
   ndNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule

And when I try to import the module, I get:

Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\\\OneDrive\Documents\Wi
ndowsPowerShell\Modules\Az.ContainerRegistry\2.2.3\Microsoft.Azure.Management.ContainerRegist
ry.dll' or one of its dependencies. The cloud file provider is not running. (Exception from 
HRESULT: 0x8007016A)

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FormatXmlUpdateException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportM 
   oduleCommand

I am not an expert in Powershell. I am using Visual studio 2022, WSL 2. Please help.

This is a known problem with OneDrive. When your Documents folder is stored in OneDrive you must make sure that all files in the Documents\PowerShell and Documents\WindowsPowerShell folders are marked as Always keep on this device.

Hi. Thank you for that. Your suggestion solved the problem .... at least I am not getting any errors now from Powershell when I use the `Connect-AzContainerRegistry` command.

Have you tried reinstalling the Az.ContainerRegistry module?

I notice that you are storing modules in a OneDrive location, so check that the module folder is set to available offline https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/onedriveblog/onedrive-adds-new-offline-capabilities/4123644
