PackageProvider issues

[rafakil]

Hello,
Do you have any idea about this error please:
WARNING: Unable to download from URI 'https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=627338&clcid=0x409' to ''.
WARNING: Unable to download the list of available providers. Check your internet connection.
Install-PackageProvider : No match was found for the specified search criteria for the provider 'NuGet'. The package provider requires 'PackageManagement' and 'Provider' tags. Please check if the specified package has the

Thanks @FullStackRafik what is the output of Invoke-WebRequest https://onegetcdn.azureedge.net/providers/providers.masterList.feed.swidtag ?

Hello @SydneyhSmith Thanks your comment.
Actually, I had no errors when I've used the wifi!!
So some sources are blocked using Ethernet!!

If I run what @SydneyhSmith asked above (getting this same error running this on Powershell V7), I get this.
PS C:\Windows\System32> Invoke-WebRequest https://onegetcdn.azureedge.net/providers/providers.masterList.feed.swidtag

@sdwheeler suggests it could be a firewall thing. Is there a way to test for that? I also can't check for updates because the package wasn't installed, but was already there. If I try to install it, I get the above.

@rconiv thanks for reaching out! Are you getting the exact same error message as the original poster? If so could you please provide the full error output/stack trace?

Could you please also run:
gmo "PowerShellGet", "PackageManagement" -ListAvailable

This may be related to some TLS issues which were resolved in later PowerShellGet versions so as long as you have a version >= 2.2.4.1 that should be resolved.

I don't get the warnings, but the rest is the same.

I think the problem is with caused by OneDrive. I have seen all kinds of strange errors when the Modules folder (under Documents) has been redirected to OneDrive. Try removing your Documents folder from OneDrive sync.

[rconiv]

I was wondering that myself. Interesting they decided to put the modules folder in the documents folder. Would think that this issue would show up fairly often, unless most people don't have their documents backing up to onedrive.

I turned off Documents from OneDrive sync, and copied the powershell folder in to it (by default the files stay on the onedrive folder it seems), and when I run gmo "PowerShellGet", "PackageManagement" -ListAvailable it still shows it looking for it in the onedrive folder. Is there something I have to do, to get it to look at the local documents folder, and not the onedrive one?

Be sure to start a new PowerShell session after you disabled OneDrive and restored the Documents folder.
