Your best option here is to start from scratch:

  1. Go to 'C:\Users\MB\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\' and remove all folders starting with "Az"

  2. Launch PS as admin and update NuGet to latest version:

    Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force -Scope AllUsers

  3. In the same window install latest version of PackageProvider:

    Install-Module -Name PackageManagement -Scope AllUsers -Force -AllowClobber

  4. In the same window install latest version of PowerShellGet

    Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Scope AllUsers -Force -AllowClobber

  5. Install Azure

    Install-Module -Name Az -Scope CurrentUser -Force -Allowclobber
