Steps to reproduce

Attemping to install module jmg.files from the PowerShell Gallery repository. It failed to install saying it was NotSigned. Module is not signed but also has no indicators that it should be (that I can tell).

The module does have Microsoft.Graph dependencies which may be related?

Expected behavior

Installs the module

Actual behavior

❯ install-module jmg.files
Install-PSResource: The signature for 'JMg.Files' is 'NotSigned.
Install-PSResource: Package(s) 'jmg.files' could not be installed from repository 'PSGallery'.
``

Thanks @JustinGrote this looks like an issue with the Compat module translating a change in behavior of PSResourceGet, we should turn off publisher checks in compat as this doesn't translate well

Today I hit the same problem in one Windows 11 VM:

gmo Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet; $PSVersionTable | Format-Table

As suggested by SydneyhSmith the workaround is to add "-SkipPublisherCheck" as parameter during Install-Module.
