Steps to reproduce
# Check if I am running in elevated command prompt:
[bool](([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).groups -match "S-1-5-32-544")
True
Install-Module AzureAd -Scope CurrentUser -ForceExpected behavior
Expect the module to be updated in the current user scope
The same issue has been reported in issue #12777 but that issue was closed as some users reported the problem had to do with Controlled Folder Access.
In my case controlled folder access is off but I still have the issue.
Actual behavior
Get this error. The error message is not correct as I am running from an elevated command prompt. So either the message is wrong or there is a bug.
Install-Module AzureAd -Scope CurrentUser -Force

or install by adding "-Scope CurrentUser"
What will be if you try to install module without administrative elevation? I did never install modules with elevated PowerShell as "CurrentUser".
yooakim commented
Same error if I try as a normal user, no difference @237dmitry

I have been experiencing a similar issue since Powershell 7.1.3 and I have checked with 7.2.0 preview 4 and the issue still exists.
Install-Package: Administrator rights are required to install or update. Log on to the computer with an account that has Administrator rights, and then try again, or install by adding "-Scope
CurrentUser" to your command. You can also try running the Windows PowerShell session with elevated rights (Run as Administrator).

I'm having a similar issue. I see your powerline fonts are also not working.
yooakim commented
I keep seeing this error and I do not have Windows Defender Controlled Folder Access enabled. Any suggestions on how to get around this?
I have tried running without admin privileges and use - Scope CurrentUser, but it keeps telling me I need Admin privileges

Pease share output with Verbose switch.

I figured out how to reproduce this: use OneDrive's Auto Save (now called "Important PC Folders backup") to synchronize Documents folder, so that PowerShell modules and scripts are synchronized too. If modules were installed on other PCs, synchronized to this PC, then try to update or install them, this problem will occur. The workaround is to remove all modules and then reinstall them.
Remove all modules from OneDrive by deleting the files, then reinstall them will workaround this problem on the current machine.

After spending much too much time on this I simply deleted all modules from my OneDrive/Documents/PowerShell/Modules folder and re-booted. After that it works.
So the underlying issue seems to be with the combination of OneDrive and PowerShell modules.
StevenBucher98 commented
We have just released this version of PowerShellGet, 3.0.11-beta, can you please try this version out and if you are encountering the same problem you can open up a new issue here so we can investigate and resolve it.
yooakim commented
Thanks @StevenBucher98 - I'll try that. Let's close this then.
