Unable to install/update modules - packagemanagement

[powershellpr0mpt]

Steps to reproduce

Was redirected here from the PowerShell Github

Having problems doing anything related to installing or updating modules in PS7. Same machines as where I ran PS6 and PS7-preview PS5.1 working as intended

First I try to

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force

Expected behavior

The PackageProvider gets installed

Actual behavior

Install-PackageProvider: Unable to find repository with SourceLocation ''. Use Get-PSRepository to see all available repositories.

Then I try

C:\>Get-PSRepository
Get-PackageSource: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\2.0.4\PSModule.psm1:9144
Line |
9144 |  … ckageSources = PackageManagement\Get-PackageSource @PSBoundParameters
     |                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Unable to find module providers (PowerShellGet).

Followed by

C:\>Register-PSRepository -Default

NuGet provider is required to continue
This version of PowerShellGet requires minimum version '2.8.5.201' of NuGet provider to publish an item to NuGet-based
repositories. The NuGet provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or
'C:\Users\RobertPrüst\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by
running 'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install
and import the NuGet provider now?

I have this on 2 machines at the moment, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but no luck. I've searched for people experiencing similar issues, but no luck. FIPS not enabled on both machines Tried the steps here, but also no luck

Someone mentioned it might be related to OneDrive known-folder-move, this is configured on both machines through Intune [corporate policies pushed to device]

Not sure if this is actually it, but perhaps it is of any help troubleshooting?

I've also tried manually copying the Nuget packageprovider .dll as mentioned here, but no luck. The .dll was originally located under C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies\nuget\2.8.5.208 , copied to AppData folder, but no luck.

I am now facing this exact same issue, and have also moved to OneDrive backup recently. Did you find any fix?

[papymaj5]

Having the same problem and only with PS7 not with 5.1 desktop. FIPS not enabled.

[davesbrown]

same problem with 5.1 and windows server 2016

[franklesniak]

Try updating PackageManagement. If I recall correctly, it updates NuGet as a prerequisite and works-around this problem.

Install-Module -Name "PackageManagement" -Force

[powershellpr0mpt]

Unfortunately no luck.

Also running newer version and new machine [but same account], but no luck:

Robert, the fact that your PowerShell window shows "Administrator" in the title bar, yet PowerShell is reporting that you do not have administrative rights tells me that something on the computer is restricting your admin rights. Any relevant GPOs or security software in place?

If you do a whoami /all do you get this list of privileges?:
